New AT_... flag: AT_EMPTY_PATH
For name_to_handle_at(2) we'll want both ...at()-style syscall that would be usable for non-directory descriptors (with empty relative pathname). Introduce new flag (AT_EMPTY_PATH) to deal with that and corresponding LOOKUP_EMPTY; teach user_path_at() and path_init() to deal with the latter. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
