Subject: do_last: regularize the logics around following symlinks
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a5cfe2d5e14d4c2dec06b22d18050c443c7537f9;p=linux-beck.git

do_last: regularize the logics around following symlinks

With LOOKUP_FOLLOW we unlazy and return 1; without it we either
fail with ELOOP or, for O_PATH opens, succeed.  No need to mix
those cases...
