[Qemu-devel] [PULL 16/28] 9pfs: local: readlink: don't follow symlinks

[Greg Kurz]

The local_readlink() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because it
calls:

(1) open(O_NOFOLLOW) which follows symbolic links for all path elements but
    the rightmost one
(2) readlink() which follows symbolic links for all path elements but the
    rightmost one

This patch converts local_readlink() to rely on open_nofollow() to fix (1)
and opendir_nofollow(), readlinkat() to fix (2).

This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
