From: Al Viro <viro@www.linux.org.uk>

The first argument of __do_follow_link() switched to struct path *
(__do_follow_link(path->dentry, ...) -> __do_follow_link(path, ...)).

All callers have the same calls of mntget() right before and dput()/mntput()
right after __do_follow_link(); these calls have been moved inside.

Obviously equivalent transformations.
