[PATCH 08/41] Don't replace nameidata path when following links

[Valerie Aurora]

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

For autofs4 the commit 051d381259eb57d6074d02a6ba6e90e744f1a29f introduced
some code that is replacing the path embedded in the nameidata with the
path of the link itself. This was done to have access to the struct
vfsmount in the autofs4_follow_link function. Instead autofs4 should
remember the struct vfsmount when it is mounted.
