Subject: io_uring/fs: consider link->flags when getting path for LINKAT
From: Charles Mirabile <cmirabil@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8479063f1fbee201a8739130e816cc331b675838 upstream.
In order for `AT_EMPTY_PATH` to work as expected, the fact
that the user wants that behavior needs to make it to `getname_flags`
or it will return ENOENT.
Fixes: cf30da90bc3a ("io_uring: add support for IORING_OP_LINKAT")
