Biug NACK here.  This is just working around the broken lookup intents
code.  lookup_one_len still is a hack for some network filesystems that
unfortunately grew a few too many users.

There is a valid case for in-kernel lookups from an arbitrary point,
but lookup_one_len* is the wrong API for this.  The righ API for that
is a variant of path?lookup that takes a vfsmount + dentry pair.
Implementing this might be a good idea anyway to clean up the mess
do_path_lookup is currently.
