Subject: [GIT PULL 06/12 for v7.0] vfs btrfs

Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This contains some changes for btrfs that are taken to the vfs tree to
stop duplicating VFS code for subvolume/snapshot dentry

  Btrfs has carried private copies of the VFS may_delete() and
  may_create() functions in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c for permission checks
  during subvolume creation and snapshot destruction. These copies have
  drifted out of sync with the VFS originals — btrfs_may_delete() is
  missing the uid/gid validity check and btrfs_may_create() is missing
  the audit_inode_child() call.

  Export the VFS functions as may_create_dentry() and
  may_delete_dentry() and switch btrfs to use them, removing ~70 lines
  of duplicated code.

/* Testing */

gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
Debian clang version 19.1.7 (3+b1)

No build failures or warnings were observed.
