vfs: Fix O_NOFOLLOW behavior for paths with trailing slashes

According to specification

mkdir d; ln -s d a; open("a/", O_NOFOLLOW | O_RDONLY)

should return success but currently it returns ELOOP.  This is a
regression caused by path lookup cleanup patch series.

Fix the code to ignore O_NOFOLLOW in case the provided path has trailing
slashes.
