[PATCH 38/79] link_path_walk: handle get_link() returning ERR_PTR() immediately

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If we get ERR_PTR() from get_link(), we are guaranteed to get err != 0
when we break out of do-while, so we are going to hit if (err) return err;
shortly after it.  Pull that into the if (IS_ERR(s)) body.
