[RFC][PATCH v3 47/55] follow_dotdot{,_rcu}(): preparation to switch to step_into()

[Al Viro]

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Right now the tail ends of follow_dotdot{,_rcu}() are pretty
much the open-coded analogues of step_into().  The differences:
	* the lack of proper LOOKUP_NO_XDEV handling in non-RCU case
(arguably a bug)
	* the lack of ->d_manage() handling (again, arguably a bug)
	* the lack of (conditional) put_link() - that sits in
handle_dots() right now.

Bring the put_link() in, adjust the calling conventions so that
on the next step with could just switch those functions to
returning step_into().
