From 7813b94a54987571082ff19e9d87eabbfec23b4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Subject: [PATCH] vfs: rename 'do_follow_link' to 'should_follow_link'
Al points out that the do_follow_link() helper function really is
misnamed - it's about whether we should try to follow a symlink or not,
not about actually doing the following.
