[PATCH 16/24] fs: add a kern_symlink helper

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>]

Add a simple helper perform a symlink with a kernel space file name and
use it in the early init code instead of relying on the implicit
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) there.  To do so push the getname from do_symlinkat
into the callers.  Remove the now unused ksys_symlink.
