VFS: change vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure.
vfs_mkdir() already drops the reference to the dentry on failure but it leaves the parent locked. This complicates end_creating() which needs to unlock the parent even though the dentry is no longer available. If we change vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure as well as releasing the dentry, we can remove the "parent" arg from end_creating() and simplify the rules for calling it. Note that cachefiles_get_directory() can choose to substitute an error instead of actually calling vfs_mkdir(), for fault injection. In that case it needs to call end_creating(), just as vfs_mkdir() now does on error. ovl_create_real() will now unlock on error. So the conditional end_creating() after the call is removed, and end_creating() is called internally on error.
