The VFS already handles ESTALE.

If a pathname resolution encounters an ESTALE at any point, the
resolution is restarted exactly once, and an additional flag is
passed to the file system during each lookup that forces each
component in the path to be revalidated on the server. This has no
possibility of causing an infinite loop.

Is there some part of this logic that is no longer working?
