[PATCH] Yama: verify inode is symlink to avoid bind mounts

[Kees Cook <kees.cook@canonical.com>]

The inode_follow_link LSM hook is called in bind mount situations as
well as for symlink situations, so we must explicitly check for the
inode being a symlink to not reject bind mounts in 1777 directories,
which seems to be a common NFSv4 configuration.
