fix LOOKUP_FOLLOW on automount "symlinks"
commit ac278a9c505092dd82077a2446af8f9fc0d9c095 upstream. Make sure that automount "symlinks" are followed regardless of LOOKUP_FOLLOW; it should have no effect on them. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
