Subject: [PATCH 4/4] namei: make sure nd->depth is always valid

Zero it in set_nameidata() rather than in path_init().  That way
it always matches the number of valid nd->stack[] entries.
Since terminate_walk() does zero it (after having emptied the
stack), we don't need to reinitialize it in subsequent path_init().
