The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
  virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
  or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
  been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
  file in the same directory.  This is also the context after the
  _parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.

So the permission check is pointless.

The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed.  Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.

This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm".  They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len.  In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().

try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr.  This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().

The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet.  That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.

all failure exits prior to fdget() leave the scope, all matching fdput()
are immediately followed by leaving the scope.

The only failure exit before fdget() is a return, the only thing done
after fdput() is transposable with it.

cleanup is convoluted enough as it is; it's easier to have early
failure outs do explicit kfree_skb(nc), rather than going to
contortions needed to reuse the cleanup from late failures.

the only call site (in do_mq_notify()) obtains the argument
from an immediately preceding fdget() and it is immediately
followed by fdput(); might as well just replace it with
a variant that would take a descriptor instead of struct file *
and have file lookups handled inside that function.

	For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
	Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
	This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f).  It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).

	NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).
