[PATCH 063/109] fanotify: add do_fanotify_mark() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall

From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
Date: 2018-03-29 11:26:10
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: fanotify, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), fsnotify: filesystem notification infrastructure, the rest · Maintainers: Jan Kara, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Using the fs-internal do_fanotify_mark() helper allows us to get rid of
the fs-internal call to the sys_fanotify_mark() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net
