No callers of kern_path_locked() or user_path_locked_at() want a
negative dentry. So change them to return -ENOENT instead. This
simplifies callers.
This results in a subtle change to bcachefs in that an ioctl will now
return -ENOENT in preference to -EXDEV. I believe this restores the
behaviour to what it was prior to
