VFS: Log the fact that we've given ELOOP rather than creating a loop

To prevent an NFS server from being used to create a directory loop in an NFS
superblock on the client, the following patch was committed:

	commit 18367501
	Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
	Date:   Tue Jul 12 21:42:24 2011 -0400
	Subject: fix loop checks in d_materialise_unique()

This causes ELOOP to be reported to anyone trying to access the dentry that
would otherwise cause the kernel to complete the loop.

However, no indication is given to the caller as to why an operation that ought
to work doesn't.  The fault is with the kernel, which doesn't want to try and
solve the problem as it gets horrendously messy if there's another mountpoint
somewhere in the trees being spliced that can't be moved[*].

[*] The real problem is that we don't handle the excision of a subtree that
gets moved _out_ of what we can see.  This can happen on the server where a
directory is merely moved between two other dirs on the same filesystem, but
where destination dir is not accessible by the client.

So, given the choice to return ELOOP rather than trying to reconfigure the
dentry tree, we should give the caller some indication of why they aren't being
allowed to make what should be a legitimate request and log a message.
