kill vfs_permission
With all the nameidata removal there's no point anymore for this helper. Of the three callers left two will go away with the next lookup series anyway. Also add proper kerneldoc to inode_permission as this is the main permission check routine now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
