bail out with ELOOP earlier in do_link loop
If we'd passed through 32 trailing symlinks already, there's
no sense following the 33rd - we'll bail out anyway. Better
bugger off earlier.
It *does* change behaviour, after a fashion - if the 33rd happens
to be a procfs-style symlink, original code *would* allow it.
This one will not. Cry me a river if that hurts you. Please, do.
And post a video of that, while you are at it.
