d_walk() might skip too much

When Al Viro's VFS deadlock fix "deal with deadlock in d_walk()" was
backported to 3.10.y 3.4.y and 3.2.y stable kernel brances, the deadlock fix
was copied to 3 different places. Later, a bug in that code was discovered.
Al Viro's fix involved fixing only one part of code in mainline kernel. That
fix is called "d_walk() might skip too much".

3.10.y 3.4.y and 3.2.y stable kernel brances need that later fix copied to 3
different places. Greg Kroah-Hartman included Al Viro's "d_walk() might skip
too much" fix only once in 3.10.80 kernel, leaving 2 more places without a
fix.

The patch below was not written by me. I only applied Al Viro's "d_walk()
might skip too much" fix 2 more times to 3.10.80 kernel, and cheched that
the fixes went to correct places. With this patch applied, all 3 places that
I am aware of 3.10.y stable branch are now fixed.
