smb/server: add ksmbd_vfs_kern_path()
The function ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() seems to serve two functions and as a result has an odd interface. On success it returns with the parent directory locked and with write access on that filesystem requested, but it may have crossed over a mount point to return the path, which makes the lock and the write access irrelevant. This patches separates the functionality into two functions: - ksmbd_vfs_kern_path() does not lock the parent, does not request write access, but does cross mount points - ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() does not cross mount points but does lock the parent and request write access. The parent_path parameter is no longer needed. For the _locked case the final path is sufficient to drop write access and to unlock the parent (using path->dentry->d_parent which is safe while the lock is held). There were 3 caller of ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked(). - smb2_create_link() needs to remove the target if it existed and needs the lock and the write-access, so it continues to use ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked(). It would not make sense to cross mount points in this case. - smb2_open() is the only user that needs to cross mount points and it has no need for the lock or write access, so it now uses ksmbd_vfs_kern_path() - smb2_creat() does not need to cross mountpoints as it is accessing a file that it has just created on *this* filesystem. But also it does not need the lock or write access because by the time ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() was called it has already created the file. So it could use either interface. It is simplest to use ksmbd_vfs_kern_path(). ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_unlock() is still needed after ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_locked() but it doesn't require the parent_path any more. After a successful call to ksmbd_vfs_kern_path(), only path_put() is needed to release the path.
