This addresses a bug where a forward slash is the last element of a symlink directory path and `open_dir_nofollow` is used. If a symlink is created to a directory without specifying an absolute path, then the path behind the symlink does not error when opened with `open_dir_nofollow`. Take these two symlinks: ``` > ls -l /home/ylk/test-dir-symlink* lrwxrwxrwx 1 ylk ylk 24 Feb 19 21:15 /home/ylk/test-dir-symlink -> /local/home/ylk/test-dir/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 ylk ylk 8 Feb 19 21:27 /home/ylk/test-dir-symlink2 -> test-dir/ ``` Without this patch, the following behavior is observed when using open_dir_nofollow: test-dir-symlink/ -> error test-dir-symlink -> error test-dir-symlink2 -> error test-dir-symlink2/ -> **no error**
