This series is in preparation for the AppArmor merge.  It's rather
boring, except perhaps the last two patches, which deal with
permission().

VFS API is touched very little, since the path has already been passed
down by callers.

This is based on the vfs-cleanups(*) tree + the 8 patches posted
recently (which will be added to this tree shortly).  If no problems
are found I'll create a new "apparmor" branch on that tree and commit
these patches there.

Thanks,
Miklos
