Subject: fix LOOKUP_FOLLOW on automount "symlinks"
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac278a9c505092dd82077a2446af8f9fc0d9c095;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

fix LOOKUP_FOLLOW on automount "symlinks"

Make sure that automount "symlinks" are followed regardless of LOOKUP_FOLLOW;
it should have no effect on them.
