It's only need for the two monster-inlines set_fs_root and set_fs_pwd
that should better be out of line anyway. Some additional cleanup like
named initializers as extra bonus.

OK, here comes. Patch below is an attempt to do the fastwalk
stuff in right way and so far it seems to be working.
- dentry leak is plugged
- locked/unlocked state of nameidata doesn't depend on history - it
depends only on point in code.
- LOOKUP_LOCKED is gone.
- following mounts and .. doesn't drop dcache_lock
- light-weight permission check distinguishes between "don't know" and
"permission denied", so we don't call full-blown permission() unless
we have to.
- code that changes root/pwd holds dcache_lock _and_ write lock on
current->fs->lock. I.e. if we hold dcache_lock we can safely
access our ->fs->{root,pwd}{,mnt}
- __d_lookup() does not increment refcount; callers do dget_locked()
if they need it (behaviour of d_lookup() didn't change, obviously).
- link_path_walk() logics had been (somewhat) cleaned up.
