[d_path 4/7] Make getcwd() only return valid paths

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Make getcwd() fail with -ENOENT if the current working directory is
disconnected: the process is not asking for some previous name of that
directory but for the current name; returning a path meaningless in the
context of that process makes no sense.
