Subject: [PATCH v3 080/110] namei: fold put_link() into the failure case of complete_walk()

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

... and don't open-code unlazy_walk() in there - the only reason
for that is to avoid verfication of cached nd->root, which is
trivially avoided by discarding said cached nd->root first.
