lookup_union() checks if union lookup is actually necessary for this
dentry, and marks the dentry to show that the union lookup has been
performed.
__lookup_union() may overwrite the parent's path in the nameidata
struct for the entry being looked up. This is because it reuses the
same nameidata to do lookups in each of the lower layer directories.
lookup_union() saves and restores the original parent's path in the
nameidata.
