chase: fix corner case when using CHASE_PARENT with a path ending in ".."

Browse Source 
If we use CHASE_PARENT on a path ending in ".." then things are a bit
weird, because we the last path we look at is actually the *parent* and not
the *child* of the preceeding path. Hence we cannot just return the 2nd
to last fd we look at. We have to correct it, by going *two* levels up,
to get to the actual parent, and make sure CHASE_PARENT does what it
should.

Example: for the path /a/b/c chase() with CHASE_PARENT will return
/a/b/c as path, and the fd returned points to /a/b. All good.  But now,
for the path /a/b/c/.. chase() with CHASE_PARENT would previously return
/a/b as path (which is OK) but the fd would point to /a/b/c, which is
*not* the parent of /a/b, after all! To get to the actual parent of
/a/b we have to go *two* levels up to get to /a.

Very confusing. But that's what we here for, no?
