Thanks for changing the names!

lookup_flags &= ~LOOKUP_AUTOMOUNT won't work?

At least it should cause EINVAL (or something similar) instead of being
silently ignored. The same applies to RESOLVE_EMPTY_PATH, it should be
handled with some logic or also cause EINVAL.

vfs_statx()/vfs_stat_set_lookup_flags() seems to have a similar logic
using the AT_* flags.
