simplify link_path_walk() tail

Now that link_path_walk() is called without LOOKUP_PARENT
only from do_follow_link(), we can simplify the checks in
last component handling.  First of all, checking if we'd
arrived to a directory is not needed - the caller will check
it anyway.  And LOOKUP_FOLLOW is guaranteed to be there,
since we only get to that place with nd->depth > 0.
