fs: tidy up step_into() & friends before inlining

Symlink handling is already marked as unlikely and pushing out some of
it into pick_link() reduces register spillage on entry to step_into()
with gcc 14.2.

The compiler needed additional convincing that handle_mounts() is
unlikely to fail.

At the same time neither clang nor gcc could be convinced to tail-call
into pick_link().

While pick_link() takes an address of stack-based object as an argument
(which definitely prevents the optimization), splitting it into separate
<dentry, mount> tuple did not help. The issue persists even when
compiled without stack protector. As such nothing was done about this
for the time being to not grow the diff.
