ksmbd: fix recursive locking in vfs helpers
Running smb2.rename test from Samba smbtorture suite against a kernel built with lockdep triggers a "possible recursive locking detected" warning. This is because mnt_want_write() is called twice with no mnt_drop_write() in between: -> ksmbd_vfs_mkdir() -> ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_create() -> kern_path_create() -> filename_create() -> mnt_want_write() -> mnt_want_write() Fix this by removing the mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write calls from vfs helpers that call kern_path_create().
