[PATCH v3 062/110] link_path_walk: end of nd->depth massage

From: Al Viro
Date: Mon May 11 2015 - 14:29:48 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

get rid of orig_depth - we only use it on error exit to tell whether
to stop doing put_link() when depth reaches 0 (call from path_init())
or when it reaches 1 (call from trailing_symlink()). However, in
the latter case the caller would immediately follow with one more
put_link(). Just keep doing it until the depth reaches zero (and
simplify trailing_symlink() as the result).
