fs: add do_mknodat() helper and ksys_mknod() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall
Using the fs-internal do_mknodat() helper allows us to get rid of fs-internal calls to the sys_mknodat() syscall. Introducing the ksys_mknod() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to sys_mknod() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_mknod(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
