From: Al Viro <v...@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Array of MAX_NESTED_LINKS + 1 elements put into nameidata;
what used to be a local array in link_path_walk() occupies
entries 1 .. MAX_NESTED_LINKS in it, link and cookie from
the trailing symlink handling loops - entry 0.

This is _not_ the final arrangement; just an easily verified
incremental step.
