[PATCH 040/112] fs: initialize struct nameidata::last

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The last member is normally written by link_path_walk(), before being
read by __lookup_hash, among others.

In the special case of calling open() on "/", link_path_walk() will
terminate early without setting the last member, leading __d_alloc
called by __lookup_hash to read uninitialized memory.
