From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Make trailing_symlink() return the pathname to traverse or ERR_PTR(-E...).
A subtle point is that for "magic" symlinks it returns "" now - that
leads to link_path_walk("", nd), which is immediately returning 0 and
we are back to the treatment of the last component, at whereever the
damn thing has left us.
Reduces the stack footprint - link_path_walk() called on more shallow
stack now.
