cifs: fix dentry lookups in directory handle cache

Get rid of any prefix paths in @path before lookup_positive_unlocked()
as it will call ->lookup() which already adds those prefix paths
through build_path_from_dentry().

This has caused a performance regression when mounting shares with a
prefix path where readdir(2) would end up retrying several times to
open bad directory names that contained duplicate prefix paths.

Fix this by skipping any prefix paths in @path before calling
lookup_positive_unlocked().

Fixes: e4029e0 ("cifs: find and use the dentry for cached non-root directories also")
