vfs: default to generic_readlink()
If i_op->readlink is NULL, but i_op->get_link is set then vfs_readlink() defaults to calling generic_readlink(). The IOP_DEFAULT_READLINK flag indicates that the above conditions are met and the default action can be taken. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
