Subject[PATCH 3/8] Simplify exec_permission_lite() further

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:53:56 -0700

This function is only called for path components that are already known
to be directories (they have a '->lookup' method). So don't bother
doing that whole S_ISDIR() testing, the whole point of the 'lite()'
version is that we know that we are looking at a directory component,
and that we're only checking name lookup permission.
