In operations that involve pathwalks (lookups and atomic opens), ensure
that the operations are making forward progress. Save a copy of the
current nd.path.dentry when retrying on an estale and ensure that it's
changing on each pass through the loop. If it isn't, then we're stuck.
Just return -ENOENT in that case.
