namei: add audit_inode to all branches in path_lookup
Main change is in path_lookup: added a goto to do audit_inode instead of return statement, when emul_lookup_dentry for root is successful.The existing code does audit_inode only when lookup is done in normal root or cwd. Other changes: Some lookup routines are returning zero on success, and some are returning zero on failure. I documented the related function signatures in this code path, so that one can glance over abstract functions without understanding the entire code.
