Subject: [PATCH v6 07/15] smb/server: use end_removing_noperm for for target of smb2_create_link()
From: NeilBrown <neil@...wn.name>
Sometimes smb2_create_link() needs to remove the target before creating
the link.
It uses ksmbd_vfs_kern_locked(), and is the only user of that interface.
To match the new naming, that function is changed to
ksmbd_vfs_kern_start_removing(), and related functions or flags are also
renamed.
The lock actually happens in ksmbd_vfs_path_lookup() and that is changed
to use start_removing_noperm() - permission to perform lookup in the
parent was already checked in vfs_path_parent_lookup().
