Before the commit 461c3af045d3 ("ext4: Change handle_mount_opt() to use
fs_parameter") ext4 mount option journal_path did follow links in the
provided path.

Bring this behavior back by allowing to pass pathwalk flags to
fs_lookup_param().

Fixes: 461c3af045d3 ("ext4: Change handle_mount_opt() to use fs_parameter")

This bit me recently when I was debugging an old system that used an
external journal on an LVM LV and I wanted to know if the bug I was
chasing also reproduced on upstream.  Thanks for fixing this before I
got around to making a patch:
