The local_link() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because it calls:
(1) link() which follows symbolic links for all path elements but the
rightmost one
(2) local_create_mapped_attr_dir()->mkdir() which follows symbolic links
for all path elements but the rightmost one
This patch converts local_link() to rely on opendir_nofollow() and linkat()
to fix (1), mkdirat() to fix (2).
This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
