NeilBrown cf296b294c VFS: introduce end_creating_keep() ...

Occasionally the caller of end_creating() wants to keep using the dentry.
Rather then requiring them to dget() the dentry (when not an error)
before calling end_creating(), provide end_creating_keep() which does
this.

cachefiles and overlayfs make use of this.
