namei: Fix use after free in kern_path_locked
In 0ee50b47532a ("namei: change filename_parentat() calling conventions"), filename_parentat() was made to always call putname() on the filename before returning, and kern_path_locked() was migrated to this calling convention. However, kern_path_locked() uses the "last" parameter to lookup and potentially create a new dentry. The last parameter contains the last component of the path and points within the filename, which was recently freed at the end of filename_parentat(). Thus, when kern_path_locked() calls __lookup_hash(), it is using the filename after it has already been freed. In other words, these calling conventions had been wrong for the only remaining caller of filename_parentat(). Everything else is using __filename_parentat(), which does not drop the reference; so should kern_path_locked(). Switch kern_path_locked() to use of __filename_parentat() and move getting/dropping struct filename into wrapper. Remove filename_parentat(), now that we have no remaining callers.
