Subject: [PATCH 5.4 151/151] Convert trailing spaces and periods in path components

From: Boris Protopopov <pboris@...zon.com>

commit 57c176074057531b249cf522d90c22313fa74b0b upstream.

When converting trailing spaces and periods in paths, do so
for every component of the path, not just the last component.
If the conversion is not done for every path component, then
subsequent operations in directories with trailing spaces or
periods (e.g. create(), mkdir()) will fail with ENOENT. This
is because on the server, the directory will have a special
symbol in its name, and the client needs to provide the same.
