pull handling of one pathname component into a helper
new helper: walk_component(). Handles everything except symlinks; returns negative on error, 0 on success and 1 on symlinks we decided to follow. Drops out of RCU mode on such symlinks. link_path_walk() and do_last() switched to using that. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
