be careful with nd->inode in path_init() and follow_dotdot_rcu()

commit 4023bfc9f351a7994fb6a7d515476c320f94a574 upstream.

in the former we simply check if dentry is still valid after picking
its ->d_inode; in the latter we fetch ->d_inode in the same places
where we fetch dentry and its ->d_seq, under the same checks.
