follow_dotdot{,_rcu}(): lift LOOKUP_BENEATH checks out of loop

Browse source 
Behaviour change: LOOKUP_BENEATH lookup of .. in absolute root
yields an error even if it's not the process' root.  That's
possible only if you'd managed to escape chroot jail by way of
procfs symlinks, but IMO the resulting behaviour is not worse -
more consistent and easier to describe:
	".." in root is "stay where you are", uness LOOKUP_BENEATH
	has been given, in which case it's "fail with EXDEV".
