namei: change filename_parentat() calling conventions

Since commit 5c31b6cedb675 ("namei: saner calling conventions for
filename_parentat()") filename_parentat() had the following behavior WRT
the passed in struct filename *:

* On error the name is consumed (putname() is called on it);
* On success the name is returned back as the return value;

Now there is a need for filename_create() and filename_lookup() variants
that do not consume the passed filename, and following the same "consume
the name only on error" semantics is proven to be hard to reason about
and result in confusing code.

Hence this preparation change splits filename_parentat() into two: one
that always consumes the name and another that never consumes the name.
This will allow to implement two filename_create() variants in the same
way, and is a consistent and hopefully easier to reason about approach.
