partially fix up the lookup_one_noperm mess
Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage. - refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much duplication: o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to the two callers o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away - lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear - added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use the latter ever.
