[PATCH 062/109] inotify: add do_inotify_init() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall

From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
Date: 2018-03-29 11:26:13
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), fsnotify: filesystem notification infrastructure, inotify, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Jan Kara, Linus Torvalds

Using the inotify-internal do_inotify_init() helper allows us to get rid
of the in-kernel call to sys_inotify_init1() 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
