Subject: [RFC][PATCH v4 63/69] take post-lookup part of do_last() out of loop

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

now we can have open_last_lookups() directly from the loop in
path_openat() - the rest of do_last() never returns a symlink
to follow, so we can bloody well leave the loop first.

Rename the rest of that thing from do_last() to do_open() and
make it return an int.
