Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere
The last remaining place (resolution of nested symlink) converted
to the loop of the same kind we have in path_lookupat() and
path_openat().
Note that we still *do* have a recursion in pathname resolution;
can't avoid it, really. However, it's strictly for nested symlinks
now - i.e. ones in the middle of a pathname.
link_path_walk() has lost the tail now - it always walks everything
except the last component.
do_follow_link() renamed to nested_symlink() and moved down.
