Subject: [PATCH 15/21] init: add an init_eaccess helper

Add a simple helper to check if a file exists based on kernel space file
name and switch the early init code over to it.  Note that this
theoretically changes behavior as it always is based on the effective
permissions.  But during early init that doesn't make a difference.
