[Bugs] [Bug 1157223] nfs mount via symbolic link does not work

[bugzilla at redhat.com]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157223


--- Doc Text *updated* by Jiffin <jthottan at redhat.com> ---
Cause: 
 Gluster-NFS won't resolve symbolic links into directory    handle 

Consequence: 
  mount fails when we give symlink as subdirectory for mounting

Fix: 
  Gluster-NFS should resolve symlink into directory handle.
The path mention when we create symlinks should relative to symlink which will be consistent through the file system.
In udp mount , glfs_resolve_at is used.So path contains only "../../../"etc will into root('/') even if it is out of filesystem.So we just do not consider this types of cases for udp

Result: 
  If symlink is consistent through out file system, subdir mount for symlink will work
