[PATCH 0/3] whack user_path_at_empty, cleanup getname_flags

[Mateusz Guzik]

I tried to take a stab at the atomic filename refcount thing [1], found
some easy cleanup to do as a soft prerequisite.

user_path_at_empty saddles getname_flags with an int * argument nobody
else uses, so it only results in everyone else having to pass NULL
there. This is trivially avoidable.

Should a need for user_path_at_empty it can probably be implemented in a
nicer manner than it was.

Mateusz Guzik (3):
  vfs: stop using user_path_at_empty in do_readlinkat
  vfs: retire user_path_at_empty and drop empty arg from getname_flags
  vfs: shave a branch in getname_flags
