fix sysvfs symlinks
The thing got broken back in 2002 - sysvfs does *not* have inline symlinks; even short ones have bodies stored in the first block of file. sysv_symlink() handles that correctly; unfortunately, attempting to look an existing symlink up will end up confusing them for inline symlinks, and interpret the block number containing the body as the body itself. Nobody has noticed until now, which says something about the level of testing sysvfs gets ;-/ Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # all of them, not that anyone cared Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
