f7ad3c6be9 vfs: add helpers to get root and pwd
Add three helpers that retrieve a refcounted copy of the root and cwd
from the supplied fs_struct.

 get_fs_root()
 get_fs_pwd()
 get_fs_root_and_pwd()

5ad4e53bd5 Get rid of indirect include of fs_struct.h
Don't pull it in sched.h; very few files actually need it and those
can include directly.  sched.h itself only needs forward declaration
of struct fs_struct;

ce3b0f8d5c New helper - current_umask()
current->fs->umask is what most of fs_struct users are doing.
Put that into a helper function.

498052bba5 New locking/refcounting for fs_struct
* all changes of current->fs are done under task_lock and write_lock of
  old fs->lock
* refcount is not atomic anymore (same protection)
* its decrements are done when removing reference from current; at the
  same time we decide whether to free it.
* put_fs_struct() is gone
* new field - ->in_exec.  Set by check_unsafe_exec() if we are trying to do
  execve() and only subthreads share fs_struct.  Cleared when finishing exec
  (success and failure alike).  Makes CLONE_FS fail with -EAGAIN if set.
* check_unsafe_exec() may fail with -EAGAIN if another execve() from subthread
  is in progress.

3e93cd6718 Take fs_struct handling to new file (fs/fs_struct.c)
Pure code move; two new helper functions for nfsd and daemonize
(unshare_fs_struct() and daemonize_fs_struct() resp.; for now -
the same code as used to be in callers).  unshare_fs_struct()
exported (for nfsd, as copy_fs_struct()/exit_fs() used to be),
copy_fs_struct() and exit_fs() don't need exports anymore.
