Subject: fs: add nd_jump_link
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b5fb63c18315c5510c1d0636179c057e0c761c77;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

fs: add nd_jump_link

Add a helper that abstracts out the jump to an already parsed struct path
from ->follow_link operation from procfs.  Not only does this clean up
the code by moving the two sides of this game into a single helper, but
it also prepares for making struct nameidata private to namei.c
