untangle the "need_reval_dot" mess

instead of ad-hackery around need_reval_dot(), do the following:
set a flag (LOOKUP_JUMPED) in the beginning of path, on absolute
symlink traversal, on ".." and on procfs-style symlinks.  Clear on
normal components, leave unchanged on ".".  Non-nested callers of
link_path_walk() call handle_reval_path(), which checks that flag
is set and that fs does want the final revalidate thing, then does
->d_revalidate().  In link_path_walk() all the return_reval stuff
is gone.
