namei: Standardize callers of filename_lookup()
filename_lookup() has two variants, one which drops the caller's reference to filename (filename_lookup), and one which does not (__filename_lookup). This can be confusing as it's unusual to drop a caller's reference. Remove filename_lookup, rename __filename_lookup to filename_lookup, and convert all callers. The cost is a few slightly longer functions, but the clarity is greater. [AV: consuming a reference is not at all unusual, actually; look at e.g. do_mkdirat(), for example. It's more that we want non-consuming variant for close relative of that function...] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/YS+dstZ3xfcLxhoB@zeniv-ca.linux.org.uk/ Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan <stephen.s.brennan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
