Minor nit here - I'd split "move the conditional call of set_root()
into nd_jump_root()" into a separate patch before that one.  Makes
for fewer distractions in this one.  I'd probably fold "and be
ready for errors other than -ECHILD" into the same preliminary
patch.

Also a candidate for doing in nd_jump_link()...

Umm...  Are you sure it's not -ECHILD?
