Fix the -ESTALE handling in do_filp_open()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Instead of playing sick games with path saving, cleanups, just retry
the entire thing once with LOOKUP_REVAL added.  Post-.34 we'll convert
all -ESTALE handling in there to that style, rather than playing with
many retry loops deep in the call chain.
