EOPENSTALE occuring at the last component of a trailing symlink ends up with do_last() retrying its lookup. After the symlink body has been discarded. The thing is, all this retry_lookup logics in there is not needed at all - the upper layers will do the right thing if we simply return that -EOPENSTALE as we would with any other error. Trying to microoptimize in do_last() is a lot of headache for no good reason.
