[bug #29655] linkat() fails because __file_name_lookup_at() problems

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #29655 (project hurd):

Thanks for the review.

This patch (hopefully) clarifies the comment.

I don't understand your second point though. How can "linkat(...,
AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW)" be wrong? Do you mean that in that case with my patch,
file_name_lookup_at() will have O_NOLINK in flags and AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW in
at_flags, which is a bit contradictory, and that I should only pass O_NOLINK
in linkat() if AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW is not in its flags argument?
