typo fix: noticed this typo while reading the patch
"jffs2: fix symlink error handling"
Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).
There are some significant differences from previous version posted
at last December.
The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.
In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.
The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.

JFFS2 uses f->dents to store the pointer to the symlink target string (in case
the inode is symlink). This is somewhat ugly to use the same field for
different reasons. Introduce distinct field f->target for this purpose.
Note, f->fragtree, f->dents, f->target may probably be put in a union.

This fixes up the symlink functions for the calling convention change:
* afs, autofs4, befs, devfs, freevxfs, jffs2, jfs, ncpfs, procfs,
smbfs, sysvfs, ufs, xfs - prototype change for ->follow_link()
* befs, smbfs, xfs - same for ->put_link()

The current calling conventions for ->follow_link() are already fairly
complex.
What we have is
1) you can return -error; then you must release nameidata yourself
and ->put_link() will _not_ be called.
2) you can do nd_set_link(nd, ERR_PTR(-error)) and return 0
3) you can do nd_set_link(nd, path) and return 0
4) you can return 0 (after having moved nameidata yourself)
jffs2 follow_link() is broken - it has an exit where it returns
-EIO and leaks nameidata.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
