ksmbd: fix recursive locking in vfs helpers
[ Upstream commit 807252f028c59b9a3bac4d62ad84761548c10f11 ]
Running smb2.rename test from Samba smbtorture suite against a kernel built
with lockdep triggers a "possible recursive locking detected" warning.
This is because mnt_want_write() is called twice with no mnt_drop_write()
in between:
-> ksmbd_vfs_mkdir()
-> ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_create()
-> kern_path_create()
-> filename_create()
-> mnt_want_write()
-> mnt_want_write()
Fix this by removing the mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write calls from vfs
helpers that call kern_path_create().
Full lockdep trace below:

kworker/1:1/32 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888005ac83f8 (sb_writers#5){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: ksmbd_vfs_mkdir+0xe1/0x410
but task is already holding lock:
ffff888005ac83f8 (sb_writers#5){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: filename_create+0xb6/0x260
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(sb_writers#5);
lock(sb_writers#5);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
