[PATCH v3 07/17] vfs: add new "reval" argument to kern_path_create

[Jeff Layton]

...for now, all of the callers pass in "false". Eventually, we'll set
that to "true" when we retry the lookup after getting back an ESTALE on
a call.

While we're at it, change the is_dir arg to a bool since that's how it's
used currently.
