[001/145] fix LOOKUP_FOLLOW on automount "symlinks"

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

----------------
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ac278a9c505092dd82077a2446af8f9fc0d9c095 upstream.

Make sure that automount "symlinks" are followed regardless of LOOKUP_FOLLOW;
it should have no effect on them.
