current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.

Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be
deleted.

This is trivial to do:

 - add flags argument to simple_rename()
 - check if flags doesn't have any other than RENAME_NOREPLACE
 - assign simple_rename() to .rename2 instead of .rename

Filesystems converted:

hugetlbfs, ramfs, bpf.

Debugfs uses simple_rename() to implement debugfs_rename(), which is for
debugfs instances to rename files internally, not for userspace filesystem
access.  For this case pass zero flags to simple_rename().

<title>debugfs: introduce a public file_operations accessor</title>

<id>86f0e06767dda7863d6d2a8f0b3b857e6ea876a0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces an accessor which can be used
by the users of debugfs (drivers, fs, ...) to get the
original file_operations struct. It also removes the
REAL_FOPS_DEREF macro in file.c and converts the code
to use the public version.

Previously, REAL_FOPS_DEREF was only available within
the file.c of debugfs. But having a public getter
available for debugfs users is important as some
drivers (carl9170 and b43) use the pointer of the
original file_operations in conjunction with container_of()
within their debugfs implementations.

debugfs_create_file_unsafe() is declared twice in exactly the same
manner each: once in fs/debugfs/internal.h and once in
include/linux/debugfs.h

All files that include the former also include the latter and thus,
the declaration in fs/debugfs/internal.h is superfluous.

Remove it.

<title>debugfs: open_proxy_open(): avoid double fops release</title>

<content type='text'>
Debugfs' open_proxy_open(), the -&gt;open() installed at all inodes created
through debugfs_create_file_unsafe(),
- grabs a reference to the original file_operations instance passed to
  debugfs_create_file_unsafe() via fops_get(),
- installs it at the file's -&gt;f_op by means of replace_fops()
- and calls fops_put() on it.

Since the semantics of replace_fops() are such that the reference's
ownership is transferred, the subsequent fops_put() will result in a double
release when the file is eventually closed.

Currently, this is not an issue since fops_put() basically does a
module_put() on the file_operations' -&gt;owner only and there don't exist any
modules calling debugfs_create_file_unsafe() yet. This is expected to
change in the future though, c.f. commit c64688081490 ("debugfs: add
support for self-protecting attribute file fops").

Remove the call to fops_put() from open_proxy_open().

Fixes: 9fd4dcece43a ("debugfs: prevent access to possibly dead
                      file_operations at file open")

<title>debugfs: full_proxy_open(): free proxy on -&gt;open() failure</title>

Debugfs' full_proxy_open(), the -&gt;open() installed at all inodes created
through debugfs_create_file(),
- grabs a reference to the original struct file_operations instance passed
  to debugfs_create_file(),
- dynamically allocates a proxy struct file_operations instance wrapping
  the original
- and installs this at the file's -&gt;f_op.

Afterwards, it calls the original -&gt;open() and passes its return value back
to the VFS layer.

Now, if that return value indicates failure, the VFS layer won't ever call
-&gt;release() and thus, neither the reference to the original file_operations
nor the memory for the proxy file_operations will get released, i.e. both
are leaked.

Upon failure of the original fops' -&gt;open(), undo the proxy installation.
That is:
- Set the struct file -&gt;f_op to what it had been when full_proxy_open()
  was entered.
- Drop the reference to the original file_operations.
- Free the memory holding the proxy file_operations.
