Subject: [PATCH 0/2] VFS: minor improvements to a couple of interfaces

Hi,
 I found these opportunities for simplification as part of my work to
 enhance filesystem directory operations to not require an exclusive
 lock on the directory.
 There are quite a collection of users of these interfaces incluing NFS,
 smb/server, bcachefs, devtmpfs, and audit.  Hence the long Cc line.
