IOW, it's not fs/namei.c patches from this window...

Could you post disassembly (e.g. from objdump -d) of your unlazy_walk()?
For the kernel the trace is from...

It doesn't, but is that the triggering call of name_to_handle_at(), or do you
have it called elsewhere?

FWIW, no LOOKUP_ROOT in filename_lookup() flags + NULL root + dfd not
equal to AT_FDCWD + non-empty name should've ended up in
                        if (!d_can_lookup(dentry)) {
                                fdput(f);
                                return ERR_PTR(-ENOTDIR);
			}
in path_init() and it shouldn't have progressed any further.  And in case
of name_to_handle_at() we have user_path_at(dfd, name, lookup_flags, &path),
i.e. user_path_at_empty(dfd, name, lookup_flags, &path, NULL), i.e.
filename_lookup(dfd, getname_flags(name, lookup_flags, NULL), lookup_flags,
&path, NULL).  IOW, filename_lookup() is called with root equal to NULL,
dfd and name coming straight from userland and lookup_flags containing
nothing beyond LOOKUP_EMPTY and LOOKUP_FOLLOW...
