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.
