[PATCH 4/4] namei: make sure nd->depth is always valid

From: Al Viro
Date: Tue Jun 08 2021 - 07:39:32 EST


Zero it in set_nameidata() rather than in path_init(). That way
it always matches the number of valid nd->stack[] entries.
Since terminate_walk() does zero it (after having emptied the
stack), we don't need to reinitialize it in subsequent path_init().
