do_readlinkat(): import pathname only once
Take getname_flags() and putname() outside of retry loop. Since getname_flags() is the only thing that cares about LOOKUP_EMPTY, don't bother with setting LOOKUP_EMPTY in lookup_flags - just pass it to getname_flags() and be done with that. The things could be further simplified by use of cleanup.h stuff, but let's not clutter the patch with that. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
