How about that slightly modified d_path()?

char*
full_d_path( struct dentry *dentry,
	     struct vfsmount *vfsmnt,
	     char *buf, int buflen ) {
  char *res;
  struct vfsmount *rootmnt;
  struct dentry *root;
  read_lock(&current->fs->lock);
  rootmnt = mntget(current->fs->rootmnt);
  read_unlock(&current->fs->lock);

  while( rootmnt!=rootmnt->mnt_parent ) {
    struct vfsmount *h=mntget( rootmnt->mnt_parent );
    mntput( rootmnt );
    rootmnt=h;
  }

  root = dget(rootmnt->mnt_root);

  spin_lock(&dcache_lock);
  res = __d_path(dentry, vfsmnt, root, rootmnt, buf, buflen);
  spin_unlock(&dcache_lock);

  dput(root);
  mntput(rootmnt);
  return res;
}
