d_walk() might skip too much
commit 2159184ea01e4ae7d15f2017e296d4bc82d5aeb0 upstream.
when we find that a child has died while we'd been trying to ascend,
we should go into the first live sibling itself, rather than its sibling.
Off-by-one in question had been introduced in "deal with deadlock in
d_walk()" and the fix needs to be backported to all branches this one
has been backported to.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: apply to the 3 copies of this logic we
ended up with]
