* simple_get_link - generic helper to get the target of "fast" symlinks
* @dentry: not used here
* @inode: the symlink inode
* @done: not used here
*
* Generic helper for filesystems to use for symlink inodes where a pointer to
* the symlink target is stored in ->i_link. NOTE: this isn't normally called,
* since as an optimization the path lookup code uses any non-NULL ->i_link
* directly, without calling ->get_link(). But ->get_link() still must be set,
* to mark the inode_operations as being for a symlink.
*
* Return: the symlink target
