Argh... I am, at that - you have setting path->root (and grabbing it)
in LOOKUP_BENEATH cases and you do it after dirfd_path_init().  So
how about
	if (flags & LOOKUP_BENEATH)
		while (*s == '/')
			s++;
before the whole thing and
        if (*s == '/') { /* can happen only without LOOKUP_BENEATH */
                set_root(nd);
		error = nd_jump_root(nd);
		if (unlikely(error))
			return ERR_PTR(error);
        } else if (nd->dfd == AT_FDCWD) {
                if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU) {
                        struct fs_struct *fs = current->fs;
                        unsigned seq;

                        do {
                                seq = read_seqcount_begin(&fs->seq);
                                nd->path = fs->pwd;
                                nd->inode = nd->path.dentry->d_inode;
                                nd->seq = __read_seqcount_begin(&nd->path.dentry->d_seq);
                        } while (read_seqcount_retry(&fs->seq, seq));
                } else {
                        get_fs_pwd(current->fs, &nd->path);
                        nd->inode = nd->path.dentry->d_inode;
                }  
        } else {
                /* Caller must check execute permissions on the starting path component */
                struct fd f = fdget_raw(nd->dfd);
                struct dentry *dentry;

                if (!f.file)
                        return ERR_PTR(-EBADF);

                dentry = f.file->f_path.dentry;

                if (*s && unlikely(!d_can_lookup(dentry))) {
                        fdput(f);
                        return ERR_PTR(-ENOTDIR);
                }

                nd->path = f.file->f_path;
                if (flags & LOOKUP_RCU) {
                        nd->inode = nd->path.dentry->d_inode;
                        nd->seq = read_seqcount_begin(&nd->path.dentry->d_seq);
                } else {
                        path_get(&nd->path);
                        nd->inode = nd->path.dentry->d_inode;
                }
                fdput(f);
        }
	if (flags & LOOKUP_BENEATH) {
		nd->root = nd->path;
		if (!(flags & LOOKUP_RCU))
			path_get(&nd->root);
		else
			nd->root_seq = nd->seq;
	}
	return s;
replacing the part in the end?  Makes for much smaller change; it might
very well still make sense to add dirfd_path_init() as a separate
cleanup (perhaps with the *s == '/' case included), though.
