Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage.
- refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much
duplication:
o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash
o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to
the two callers
o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away
- lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to
lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear
- added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as
lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use
the latter ever.
