d_walk() might skip too much
when we find that a child has died while we'd been trying to ascend,
we should go into the first live sibling itself, rather than its sibling.
Off-by-one in question had been introduced in "deal with deadlock in
d_walk()" and the fix needs to be backported to all branches this one
has been backported to.
