namei: Preserve ABI root for absolute symlinks before fallback
D40479 changed namei() so that an absolute symlink target encountered during an ABI-root lookup restarts from the native root. This helps the native fallback case, but it also makes successful lookups inside an ABI root escape that root while following absolute symlinks. Only switch absolute symlink lookup to the native root after namei() is already in the restarted/native fallback pass. Do not mark the lookup as restarted merely because an absolute symlink was encountered while still resolving inside the ABI root. This preserves the intended native fallback behavior while keeping absolute symlinks within a successfully resolved ABI-root path in the ABI namespace.
