fs: add ksys_mount() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mount()
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_mount() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_mount(). In the near future, all callers of ksys_mount() should be converted to call do_mount() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
