Split inode_permission() into inode- and superblock-dependent parts.

This is aimed at unionmounts where the superblock from the upper layer has to
be checked rather than the superblock from the lower layer as the upper layer
may be writable, thus allowing an unwritable file from the lower layer to be
copied up and modified.

copy_tree() can theoretically fail in a case other than ENOMEM, but always
returns NULL which is interpreted by callers as -ENOMEM.  Change it to return
an explicit error.

Also change clone_mnt() for consistency and because union mounts will add new
error cases.

Thanks to Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> for a bug fix.

Add a helper that abstracts out the jump to an already parsed struct path
from ->follow_link operation from procfs.  Not only does this clean up
the code by moving the two sides of this game into a single helper, but
it also prepares for making struct nameidata private to namei.c

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Currently the non-nd_set_link based versions of ->follow_link are expected
to do a path_put(&nd->path) on failure.  This calling convention is unexpected,
undocumented and doesn't match what the nd_set_link-based instances do.

Move the path_put out of the only non-nd_set_link based ->follow_link
instance into the caller.

a) ->d_iput() is wrong here - what we do to inode is completely usual, it's
dentry->d_fsdata that we want to drop.  Just use ->d_release().

b) switch to ->s_d_op - no need to play with d_set_d_op()
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

all callers want the same thing, actually - a kinda-sorta analog of
kern_path_create().  I.e. they want parent vfsmount/dentry (with
->i_mutex held, to make sure the child dentry is still their child)
+ the child dentry.

Since commit 197e37d9, the banner comment on lookup_open() no longer matches
what the function returns.  It used to return a struct file pointer or NULL and
now it returns an integer and is passed the struct file pointer it is to use
amongst its arguments.  Update the comment to reflect this.

Also add a banner comment to atomic_open().
