procfs-style symlinks return a last_type of LAST_BIND without an actual
path string. This causes __follow_link to skip calling __vfs_follow_link
and so the dentry isn't revalidated.
This is a problem when the link target sits on NFSv4 as it depends on
the VFS to revalidate the dentry before using it on an open call. Ensure
that this occurs by forcing a revalidation of the target dentry of
LAST_BIND symlinks.
