For readlinkat() we simply allow empty pathname; it will fail unless
we have dfd equal to O_PATH-opened symlink, so we are outside of
POSIX scope here. For fchownat() and fstatat() we allow AT_EMPTY_PATH;
let the caller explicitly ask for such behaviour.

At that point we can't do almost nothing with them. They can be opened
with O_PATH, we can manipulate such descriptors with dup(), etc. and
we can see them in /proc/*/{fd,fdinfo}/*.
We can't (and won't be able to) follow /proc/*/fd/* symlinks for those;
there's simply not enough information for pathname resolution to go on
from such point - to resolve a symlink we need to know which directory
does it live in.
We will be able to do useful things with them after the next commit, though -
readlinkat() and fchownat() will be possible to use with dfd being an
O_PATH-opened symlink and empty relative pathname. Combined with
open_by_handle() it'll give us a way to do realink-by-handle and
lchown-by-handle without messing with more redundant syscalls.

New flag for open(2) - O_PATH. Semantics:
* pathname is resolved, but the file itself is _NOT_ opened
as far as filesystem is concerned.
* almost all operations on the resulting descriptors shall
fail with -EBADF. Exceptions are:
1) operations on descriptors themselves (i.e.
close(), dup(), dup2(), dup3(), fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD),
fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, ...), fcntl(fd, F_GETFD),
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, ...))
2) fcntl(fd, F_GETFL), for a common non-destructive way to
check if descriptor is open
3) "dfd" arguments of ...at(2) syscalls, i.e. the starting
points of pathname resolution
* closing such descriptor does *NOT* affect dnotify or
posix locks.
* permissions are checked as usual along the way to file;
no permission checks are applied to the file itself. Of course,
giving such thing to syscall will result in permission checks (at
the moment it means checking that starting point of ....at() is
a directory and caller has exec permissions on it).
fget() and fget_light() return NULL on such descriptors; use of
fget_raw() and fget_raw_light() is needed to get them. That protects
existing code from dealing with those things.
There are two things still missing (they come in the next commits):
one is handling of symlinks (right now we refuse to open them that
way; see the next commit for semantics related to those) and another
is descriptor passing via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams.

new function: file_open_root(dentry, mnt, name, flags) opens the file

New lookup flag: LOOKUP_ROOT. nd->root is set (and held) by caller,
path_init() starts walking from that place and all pathname resolution
machinery never drops nd->root if that flag is set. That turns
vfs_path_lookup() into a special case of do_path_lookup() *and*
gets us down to 3 callers of link_path_walk(), making it finally
feasible to rip the handling of trailing symlink out of link_path_walk().
That will not only simply the living hell out of it, but make life
much simpler for unionfs merge. Trailing symlink handling will
become iterative, which is a good thing for stack footprint in
a lot of situations as well.

That thing has devolved into rats nest of gotos; sane use of unlikely()
gets rid of that horror and gives much more readable structure:
* make a fast attempt to find a dentry; false negatives are OK.
In RCU mode if everything went fine, we are done, otherwise just drop
out of RCU. If we'd done (RCU) ->d_revalidate() and it had not refused
outright (i.e. didn't give us -ECHILD), remember its result.
* now we are not in RCU mode and hopefully have a dentry. If we
do not, lock parent, do full d_lookup() and if that has not found anything,
allocate and call ->lookup(). If we'd done that ->lookup(), remember that
dentry is good and we don't need to revalidate it.
* now we have a dentry. If it has ->d_revalidate() and we can't
skip it, call it.
* hopefully dentry is good; if not, either fail (in case of error)
or try to invalidate it. If d_invalidate() has succeeded, drop it and
retry everything as if original attempt had not found a dentry.
* now we can finish it up - deal with mountpoint crossing and
automount.

There used to be time when ->d_revalidate() couldn't return an error.
So intents code had lookup_instantiate_filp() stash ERR_PTR(error)
in nd->intent.open.filp and had it checked after lookup_hash(), to
catch the otherwise silent failures. That had been introduced by
commit 4af4c52f34. These days
->d_revalidate() can and does propagate errors back to callers
explicitly, so this check isn't needed anymore.

Instead of path_lookupat() doing trailing symlink resolution,
use the same scheme as on the O_CREAT side. Walk with
LOOKUP_PARENT, then (in do_last()) look the final component
up, then either open it or return error or, if it's a symlink,
give the symlink back to path_openat() to be resolved there.
The really messy complication here is RCU. We don't want to drop
out of RCU mode before the final lookup, since we don't want to
bounce parent directory ->d_count without a good reason.
Result is _not_ pretty; later in the series we'll clean it up.
For now we are roughly back where we'd been before the revert
done by Nick's series - top-level logics of path_openat() is
cleaned up, do_last() does actual opening, symlink resolution is
done uniformly.

No point messing with passing shitloads of "operation mode" arguments

instead of ad-hackery around need_reval_dot(), do the following:
set a flag (LOOKUP_JUMPED) in the beginning of path, on absolute
symlink traversal, on ".." and on procfs-style symlinks. Clear on
normal components, leave unchanged on ".". Non-nested callers of
link_path_walk() call handle_reval_path(), which checks that flag
is set and that fs does want the final revalidate thing, then does
->d_revalidate(). In link_path_walk() all the return_reval stuff
is gone.

Actual dependency on whether we want RCU or not is in 3 small areas
(as it ought to be) and everything around those is the same in both
