xfs, fuse, ipc/mqueue need variants of start_creating or start_removing which do not check permissions. This patch adds _noperm versions of these functions. Note that do_mq_open() was only calling mntget() so it could call path_put() - it didn't really need an extra reference on the mnt. Now it doesn't call mntget() and uses end_creating() which does the dput() half of path_put(). Also mq_unlink() previously passed d_inode(dentry->d_parent) as the dir inode to vfs_unlink(). This is after locking d_inode(mnt->mnt_root) These two inodes are the same, but normally calls use the textual parent. So I've changes the vfs_unlink() call to be given d_inode(mnt->mnt_root).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
