Cache root in nameidata
New field: nd->root. When pathname resolution wants to know the root,
check if nd->root.mnt is non-NULL; use nd->root if it is, otherwise
copy current->fs->root there. After path_walk() is finished, we check
if we'd got a cached value in nd->root and drop it. Before calling
path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and
pin down) some path to nd->root. In the latter case we won't be
looking at current->fs->root at all.
