[PATCH] namei fixes (5/19)
fix for too early mntput() in open_namei() - we pin path.mnt down for the
duration of __do_follow_link(). Otherwise we could get the fs where our
symlink lived unmounted while we were in __do_follow_link(). That would end
up with dentry of symlink staying pinned down through the fs shutdown.
