Applied with one modification: this getname/kern_path/putname is equivalent to
user_path(dir_name, &path) and do_mount() becomes simpler if we use that
instead of not-quite-opencoding it.
Beginning of do_mount() becomes simply
/* Discard magic */
if ((flags & MS_MGC_MSK) == MS_MGC_VAL)
flags &= ~MS_MGC_MSK;
/* Basic sanity checks */
if (data_page)
((char *)data_page)[PAGE_SIZE - 1] = 0;
/* ... and get the mountpoint */
retval = user_path(dir_name, &path);
if (retval)
return retval;
that way, and there's no struct filename * to discard on exit; getname and
putname are done inside user_path().
