From: Guo Ren <guoren at linux.alibaba.com>

There is an existing problem in 64ilp32 gcc that combines two pointers
in one register. Liao is solving that problem. Before he finishes the
job, we could prevent it with a simple noinline attribute, fortunately.

struct path {
	struct vfsmount *mnt;
	struct dentry *dentry;
} __randomize_layout;

struct nameidata {
        struct path     path;
        struct qstr     last;
        struct path     root;
...
} __randomize_layout;

	struct nameidata *nd
	...
	nd->path = nd->root;
6c88                	ld	a0,24(s1)
				^^ // Wrong arg of mntget
e088                	sd	a0,0(s1)
	// Need inserting "lw a0,0(s1)" here
	mntget(path->mnt);
2a6150ef          	jal	c01ce946 <mntget>

Any gcc helps are welcome :)
