follow_dotdot_rcu() does an equivalent of terminate_walk() on failure;
shifting it into callers makes for simpler rules and those callers
already have terminate_walk() on other failure exits.

The only reason why we needed one more was that purely nested
MAXSYMLINKS symlinks could lead to path_init() using that many
entries in addition to nd->stack[0] which it left unused.

That can't happen now - path_init() starts with entry 0 (and
trailing_symlink() is called only when we'd already encountered
one symlink, so no more than MAXSYMLINKS-1 are left).

get rid of orig_depth - we only use it on error exit to tell whether
to stop doing put_link() when depth reaches 0 (call from path_init())
or when it reaches 1 (call from trailing_symlink()).  However, in
the latter case the caller would immediately follow with one more
put_link().  Just keep doing it until the depth reaches zero (and
simplify trailing_symlink() as the result).

Get rid of orig_depth checks in OK: logics.  If nd->depth is
zero, we had been called from path_init() and we are done.
If it is greater than 1, we are not done, whether we'd been
called from path_init() or trailing_symlink().  And in
case when it's 1, we might have been called from path_init()
and reached the end of nested symlink (in which case
nd->stack[0].name will point to the rest of pathname and
we are not done) or from trailing_symlink(), in which case
we are done.

Just have trailing_symlink() leave NULL in nd->stack[0].name
and use that to discriminate between those cases.

nd->stack[0] is unused until the handling of trailing symlinks and
we want to get rid of that.  Having fucked that transformation up
several times, I went for bloody pedantic series of provably equivalent
transformations.  Sorry.

Step 1: keep nd->depth higher by one in link_path_walk() - increment upon
entry, decrement on exits, adjust the arithmetics inside and surround the
calls of functions that care about nd->depth value (nd_alloc_stack(),
get_link(), put_link()) with decrement/increment pairs.

Array of MAX_NESTED_LINKS + 1 elements put into nameidata;
what used to be a local array in link_path_walk() occupies
entries 1 .. MAX_NESTED_LINKS in it, link and cookie from
the trailing symlink handling loops - entry 0.

This is _not_ the final arrangement; just an easily verified
incremental step.

Deal with skipping leading slashes before what used to be the

absolutely straightforward now - the only variables we need to preserve
across the recursive call are name, link and cookie, and recursion depth
is limited (and can is equal to nd->depth).  So arrange an array of
triples to hold instances of those and be done with that.

reduce the number of returns in there - turn all places
where it returns zero into goto OK and places where it
returns non-zero into goto Err.  The only non-trivial
detail is that all breaks in the loop are guaranteed
to be with non-zero err.

What we do after the second walk_component() + put_link() + depth
decrement in there is exactly equivalent to what's done right
after the first walk_component().  Easy to verify and not at all
surprising, seeing that there we have just walked the last
component of nested symlink.

Split a piece of fs/namei.c:follow_link() that does obtaining the link
body into a separate function.  follow_link() itself is converted to
calling get_link() and then doing the body traversal (if any).

The next step will expand follow_link() call in link_path_walk()
and this helps to keep the size down...

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body.  Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks.  Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.

Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().

b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is.  In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.
