[PATCH v2 27/36] fs: add do_mkdirat() helper and ksys_mkdir() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall

[Dominik Brodowski]

Using the fs-internal do_mkdirat() helper allows us to get rid of
fs-internal calls to the sys_mkdirat() syscall.

Introducing the ksys_mkdir() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to the sys_mkdir() syscall.
