[PATCH 15/24] link_path_walk: final preparations to killing recursion

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

reduce the number of returns in there - turn all places
where it returns zero into goto OK and places where it
returns non-zero into goto Err.  The only non-trivial
detail is that all breaks in the loop are guaranteed
to be with non-zero err.
