From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
What we do after the second walk_component() + put_link() + depth
decrement in there is exactly equivalent to what's done right
after the first walk_component(). Easy to verify and not at all
surprising, seeing that there we have just walked the last
component of nested symlink.
