Subject: [PATCH 64/79] namei: lift (open-coded) terminate_walk() in follow_dotdot_rcu() into callers

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

follow_dotdot_rcu() does an equivalent of terminate_walk() on failure;
shifting it into callers makes for simpler rules and those callers
already have terminate_walk() on other failure exits.
