fs: add ksys_mount() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mount()

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_mount() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_mount(). In the near future, all callers of ksys_mount() should be converted to call do_mount() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Cc: Alexander Viro <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <[email protected]>
