Subject: ufs: copy symlink data into the correct union member
From: Duane Griffin <duaneg@xxxxxxxxx>
Copy symlink data into the union member it is accessed through. Although
this shouldn't make a difference to behaviour it makes the code easier to
follow and grep through. It may also prevent problems if the struct/union
definitions change in the future.
