+ *
+ * Generic helper for filesystems to use for symlink inodes where a pointer to
+ * the symlink target is stored in ->i_link.  NOTE: this isn't normally called,
+ * since as an optimization the path lookup code uses any non-NULL ->i_link
+ * directly, without calling ->get_link().  But ->get_link() still must be set,
+ * to mark the inode_operations as being for a symlink.
+ *
+ * Return: the symlink target
