H A Dnamei.c071bf501 Sun May 03 19:01:27 CDT 2015 Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> link_path_walk: nd->depth massage, part 1

nd->stack[0] is unused until the handling of trailing symlinks and
we want to get rid of that. Having fucked that transformation up
several times, I went for bloody pedantic series of provably equivalent
transformations. Sorry.

Step 1: keep nd->depth higher by one in link_path_walk() - increment upon
entry, decrement on exits, adjust the arithmetics inside and surround the
calls of functions that care about nd->depth value (nd_alloc_stack(),
get_link(), put_link()) with decrement/increment pairs.
