    handle_dots(), follow_dotdot{,_rcu}(): preparation to switch to step_into() · 7521f22b
    Al Viro authored
    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)
    
    Adjust the calling conventions so that on the next step with could
    just switch those functions to returning step_into().
