[PATCH 4.9 26/33] NFS: LOOKUP_DIRECTORY is also ok with symlinks

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

commit e0caaf75d443e02e55e146fd75fe2efc8aed5540 upstream.

Commit ac795161c936 (NFSv4: Handle case where the lookup of a directory
fails) [1], part of Linux since 5.17-rc2, introduced a regression, where
a symbolic link on an NFS mount to a directory on another NFS does not
resolve(?) the first time it is accessed:
