[02/16] fs/ntfs3: Modified fix directory element type detection
Commit Message
Unfortunately reparse attribute is used for many purposes (several dozens).
It is not possible here to know is this name symlink or not.
To get exactly the type of name we should to open inode (read mft).
getattr for opened file (fstat) correctly returns symlink.
