Subject[PATCH 1/2] namei: add LOOKUP_DFD_ROOT to use dfd as root
Date
The problem is that a pathname can contain absolute symlinks and now
they are resolved relative to the current root.

If we want to open a file in another mount namespaces and we have a file
descriptor to its root directory, we probably want to resolve pathname
in the target mount namespace. For this we add this new flag.
