      dcache: Handle escaped paths in prepend_path · fc9e08aa

      commit cde93be4 upstream.
      
      A rename can result in a dentry that by walking up d_parent
      will never reach it's mnt_root.  For lack of a better term
      I call this an escaped path.
      
      prepend_path is called by four different functions __d_path,
      d_absolute_path, d_path, and getcwd.
      
      __d_path only wants to see paths are connected to the root it passes
      in.  So __d_path needs prepend_path to return an error.
      
      d_absolute_path similarly wants to see paths that are connected to
      some root.  Escaped paths are not connected to any mnt_root so
      d_absolute_path needs prepend_path to return an error greater
      than 1.  So escaped paths will be treated like paths on lazily
      unmounted mounts.
      
      getcwd needs to prepend "(unreachable)" so getcwd also needs
      prepend_path to return an error.
      
      d_path is the interesting hold out.  d_path just wants to print
      something, and does not care about the weird cases.  Which raises
      the question what should be printed?
      
      Given that <escaped_path>/<anything> should result in -ENOENT I
      believe it is desirable for escaped paths to be printed as empty
      paths.  As there are not really any meaninful path components when
      considered from the perspective of a mount tree.
      
      So tweak prepend_path to return an empty path with an new error
      code of 3 when it encounters an escaped path.
