Makes the situation much more regular - we avoid a strange state
when the element just after the top of stack is used to store
struct path of symlink, but isn't counted in nd->depth.  This
is much more regular, so the normal failure exits, etc., work
fine.

Just store it in nd->stack[nd->depth].link right in pick_link().
Now that we make sure of stack expansion in pick_link(), we can
do so...

... and don't open-code unlazy_walk() in there - the only reason

rather than letting the callers handle the jump-to-root part of
semantics, do it right in get_link() and return the rest of the
body for the caller to deal with - at that point it's treated
the same way as relative symlinks would be.  And return NULL
when there's no "rest of the body" - those are treated the same
as pure jump symlink would be.

Instead of saving name and branching to OK:, where we'll immediately restore
it, and call walk_component() with WALK_PUT|WALK_GET and nd->last_type being
LAST_BIND, which is equivalent to put_link(nd), err = 0, we can just treat
that the same way we'd treat procfs-style "jump" symlinks - do put_link(nd)
and move on.

when cookie is NULL, put_link() is equivalent to path_put(), so
as soon as we'd set last->cookie to NULL, we can bump nd->depth and
let the normal logics in terminate_walk() to take care of cleanups.

task_struct currently contains two ad-hoc members for use by the VFS:
link_count and total_link_count.  These are only interesting to fs/namei.c,
so exposing them explicitly is poor layering.  Incidentally, link_count
isn't used anymore, so it can just die.

This patches replaces those with a single pointer to 'struct nameidata'.
This structure represents the current filename lookup of which
there can only be one per process, and is a natural place to
store total_link_count.

This will allow the current "nameidata" argument to all
follow_link operations to be removed as current->nameidata
can be used instead in the _very_ few instances that care about
it at all.

As there are occasional circumstances where pathname lookup can
recurse, such as through kern_path_locked, we always save and old
current->nameidata (if there is one) when setting a new value, and
make sure any active link_counts are preserved.

follow_mount and follow_automount now get a 'struct nameidata *'
rather than 'int flags' so that they can directly access
total_link_count, rather than going through 'current'.

... if it decides to follow, that is.
Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

instead of a single flag (!= 0 => we want to follow symlinks) pass
two bits - WALK_GET (want to follow symlinks) and WALK_PUT (put_link()
once we are done looking at the name).  The latter matters only for
success exits - on failure the caller will discard everything anyway.

Suggestions for better variant are welcome; what this thing aims for
is making sure that pending put_link() is done *before* walk_component()
decides to pick a symlink up, rather than between picking it up and
acting upon it.  See the next commit for payoff.

All callers of terminate_walk() are followed by more or less
open-coded eqiuvalent of "do put_link() on everything left
in nd->stack".  Better done in terminate_walk() itself, and
when we go for RCU symlink traversal we'll have to do it
there anyway.

rationale: we'll need to have terminate_walk() do put_link() on
everything, which will mean that in some cases ..._last() will do
put_link() anyway.  Easier to have them do it in all cases.

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

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).
Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

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).
Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

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.
