Subject: get rid of the last LOOKUP_RCU dependencies in link_path_walk()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=951361f954596bd134d4270df834f47d151f98a6;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

get rid of the last LOOKUP_RCU dependencies in link_path_walk()

New helper: terminate_walk().  An error has happened during pathname
resolution and we either drop nd->path or terminate RCU, depending
the mode we had been in.  After that, nd is essentially empty.
Switch link_path_walk() to using that for cleanup.

Now the top-level logics in link_path_walk() is back to sanity.  RCU
dependencies are in the lower-level functions.
