Subject: [PATCH 3.2 069/152] udf: Treat symlink component of type 2 as /

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

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

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

commit fef2e9f3301934773e4f1b3cc5c7bffb119346b8 upstream.

Currently, we ignore symlink component of type 2. But mkisofs and other OS'
seem to treat it as / so do the same for compatibility.
