[dm-devel] [PATCH 3 of 4] struct path: Move struct path from fs/namei.c into include/linux

[Josef Jeff Sipek]

From: Josef "Jeff" Sipek <jsipek at cs.sunysb.edu>

Moved struct path from fs/namei.c to include/linux/namei.h. This allows many
places in the VFS, as well as any stackable filesystem to easily keep track
of dentry-vfsmount pairs.
