vfs_mkdir() does not currently guarantee to leave the child dentry
hashed or make it positive on success. It may leave it unhashed and
negative and then the caller needs to perform a lookup to find the
target dentry, if it needs it.
This patch changes vfs_mkdir() to return the dentry provided by the
filesystems which is hashed and positive when provided. This reduces
the need for lookup code which is now included in vfs_mkdir() rather
than at various call-sites. The included lookup does not include the
permission check that some of the existing code included in e.g.
lookup_one_len(). This should not be necessary for lookup up a
directory which has just be successfully created.
If a different dentry is returned, the first one is put. If necessary
the fact that it is new can be determined by comparing pointers. A new
dentry will certainly have a new pointer (as the old is put after the
new is obtained).
The dentry returned by vfs_mkdir(), when not an error, *is* now
guaranteed to be hashed and positive.
A few callers do not need the dentry, but will now sometimes perform the
lookup anyway. This should be cheap except possibly in the case of cifs.
