[PATCH 1/3] virtiofsd: Don't allow empty paths in lookup_name()

[Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>]

When passed an empty filename, lookup_name() returns the inode of
the parent directory, unless the parent is the root in which case
the st_dev doesn't match and lo_find() returns NULL. This is
because lookup_name() passes AT_EMPTY_PATH down to fstatat() or
statx().

This behavior doesn't quite make sense because users of lookup_name()
then pass the name to unlinkat(), renameat() or renameat2(), all of
which will always fail on empty names.

Drop AT_EMPTY_PATH from the flags in lookup_name() so that it has
the consistent behavior of "returning an existing child inode or
NULL" for all directories.
