Subject: [PATCH 3.2 051/102] vfs: Fold follow_mount_rcu() into
 follow_dotdot_rcu()

3.2.64-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

This is needed before commit 4023bfc9f351 ('be careful with nd->inode
in path_init() and follow_dotdot_rcu()').  A similar change was made
upstream as part of commit b37199e626b3 ('rcuwalk: recheck mount_lock
after mountpoint crossing attempts').
