VFS/nfsd/cachefiles/ovl: introduce start_removing() and end_removing()
start_removing() is similar to start_creating() but will only return a positive dentry with the expectation that it will be removed. This is used by nfsd, cachefiles, and overlayfs. They are changed to also use end_removing() to terminate the action begun by start_removing(). This is a simple alias for end_dirop(). Apart from changes to the error paths, as we no longer need to unlock on a lookup error, an effect on callers is that they don't need to test if the found dentry is positive or negative - they can be sure it is positive.
