SubjectRe: [PATCH] walk_component(): get inode in lookup_slow branch statement block

Take a good look at handle_mounts() and the things it does when
*not* in RCU mode (i.e. LOOKUP_RCU is not set). Specifically,
*inode = d_backing_inode(path->dentry);
*seqp = 0; /* out of RCU mode, so the value doesn't matter */
this part.

IOW, the values passed to step_into() in inode/seq are overridden unless
we stay in RCU mode. And if we'd been through lookup_slow(), we'd been
out of RCU mode since before we called step_into().
