[PATCH] UML - Fix symlink loops

[Jeff Dike]

[ This should go into 2.6.24 - it's simple enough and people are
complaining about this ]

symlinks to directories in the non-O= case were lacking -n, which
meant that, when the link already existed, a new link pointing at
itself was created in the target directory.
