Subject: Fix mountpoint reference leakage in linkat

commit d22e6338db7f613dd4f6095c190682fcc519e4b7 upstream.

Recent changes to retry on ESTALE in linkat
(commit 442e31ca5a49e398351b2954b51f578353fdf210)
introduced a mountpoint reference leak and a small memory
leak in case a filesystem link operation returns ESTALE
which is pretty normal for distributed filesystems like
lustre, nfs and so on.
Free old_path in such a case.

[AV: there was another missing path_put() nearby - on the previous
goto retry]

[js: the second path_put is not in 3.12 yet, hunk removed]
