fs: make sure to fail try_to_unlazy() and try_to_unlazy() for LOOKUP_CACHED
Otherwise the slowpath can be taken by the caller, defeating the flag.
This regressed after calls to legitimize_links() started being
conditionally elided and stems from the routine always failing
after seeing the flag, regardless if there were any links.
In order to address both the bug and the weird semantics make it illegal
to call legitimize_links() with LOOKUP_CACHED and handle the problem at
the two callsites.
