do_last(): fetch directory ->i_mode and ->i_uid before it's too late

In do_last of namei.c, there is a possible information disclosure
      due to a double free. This could lead to local information disclosure
      with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is
      not needed for exploitation.
      The fix is designed to cache the required data before it is freed.
