follow_dotdot_rcu(): be lazy about changing nd->path

Change nd->path only after the loop is done and only in case we hadn't
ended up finding ourselves in root.  Same for NO_XDEV check.  Don't
recheck mount_lock on each step either.

That separates the "check how far back do we need to go through the
mount stack" logics from the rest of .. traversal.

Note that the sequence for d_seq/d_inode here is
	* sample mount_lock seqcount
...
	* sample d_seq
	* fetch d_inode
	* verify mount_lock seqcount
The last step makes sure that d_inode value we'd got matches d_seq -
it dentry is guaranteed to have been a mountpoint through the
entire thing, so its d_inode must have been stable.
