iget: stop HOSTFS from using iget() and read_inode()
Stop the HOSTFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Provide hostfs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). hostfs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an inode in the event of an error. hostfs_fill_sb_common() returns any error incurred when getting the root inode instead of EINVAL. Note that the contents of hostfs_kern.c need to be examined: (*) hostfs_iget() should perhaps subsume init_inode() and hostfs_read_inode(). (*) It would appear that all hostfs inodes are the same inode because iget() was being called with inode number 0 - which forms the lookup key.
