untangling do_lookup() - eliminate a loop.
d_lookup() *will* fail after successful d_invalidate(), if we are holding i_mutex all along. IOW, we don't need to jump back to l: - we know what path will be taken there and can do that (i.e. d_alloc_and_lookup()) directly. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
