[PATCH 1/1] nfs: BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint

[Denis V. Lunev]

Unfortunately, BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)) can happen inside
nfs_follow_mountpoint with NFS running Fedora 8 using a
specific setup.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458622

So, the situation should be handled on NFS client gracefully.
