[PATCH 05/13] VFS/namei: use terminate_walk when symlink lookup fails.

From: NeilBrown
Date: Mon Mar 16 2015 - 00:44:48 EST


Currently following a symlink never uses rcu-walk, so
terminate_walk isn't needed.
That will change in a future patch. In preparation, change
some
path_put_condtional()
path_put()
sequences to
path_to_nameidata()
terminate_walk()

These sequence are identical when in ref-walk, and correct when in
rcu-walk.

Also change two path_put() calls to equivalent terminate_walk().
