Let's add some protections in case we deal with inodes owned by an untrusted person, with concurrent access: let's put a limit on how long we traverse, and fail eventually so that live changes cannot send us in circles indefinitely. This reworks the current CHASE_MAX logic so that it not only applies to symlinks transitions, but to any transitions. This also bumps CHASE_MAX a bit, given that it's now bumped on every single iteration of the loop.
