[PATCH 1/3] vfs: stop using user_path_at_empty in do_readlinkat

[Mateusz Guzik]

It is the only consumer and it saddles getname_flags with an argument set
to NULL by everyone else.

Instead the routine can do the empty check on its own.

Then user_path_at_empty can get retired and getname_flags can lose the
argument.
