Subject: [PATCH 47/73] union-mount: Add lookup_union_locked() [ver #2]

From: Valerie Aurora <vaurora@...hat.com>

lookup_union_locked() checks if union lookup is actually necessary for this
dentry, and marks the dentry to show that the union lookup has been performed -
all whilst the caller holds the directory i_mutex.

__lookup_union() may overwrite the parent's path in the nameidata
struct for the entry being looked up.  This is because it reuses the
same nameidata to do lookups in each of the lower layer directories.
lookup_union() saves and restores the original parent's path in the
nameidata.
