Subject[ 11/41] vfs: fix return value from do_last()
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

commit 7f6c7e62fcc123e6bd9206da99a2163fe3facc31 upstream.

complete_walk() returns either ECHILD or ESTALE. do_last() turns this into
ECHILD unconditionally. If not in RCU mode, this error will reach userspace
which is complete nonsense.
