It feels like it might make sense to handle that in caller, but...
that goes only for cases when we are *NOT* going to continue after
successful transition to non-lazy mode.  And these two are not of
that sort - we do want to continue rather than restart everything
from scratch.

BTW, unlazy_walk() has too many arguments, all for the sake of one caller
(everything except lookup_fast() calls it with (nd, NULL, 0) as arguments)
and it might make sense to split the damn thing in two.  I have that in
a pending pile since the last cycle, but back then you have asked to stop
piling them up and let it settle, so I'd postponed that one along with other
cleanups...
