namei: lift link_path_walk() call out of trailing_symlink()
Make trailing_symlink() return the pathname to traverse or ERR_PTR(-E...). A subtle point is that for "magic" symlinks it returns "" now - that leads to link_path_walk("", nd), which is immediately returning 0 and we are back to the treatment of the last component, at whereever the damn thing has left us. Reduces the stack footprint - link_path_walk() called on more shallow stack now. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
