  fs: remove ksys_dup() (2019-12-12 19:00:36 +0100)

This small series replaces all in-kernel calls to the
userspace-focused ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() with calls
to kernel-centric functions:

For each replacement of ksys_mount() with do_mount(),
one needs to verify that the first and third parameter
(char *dev_name, char *type) are strings allocated in
kernelspace and that the fifth parameter (void *data)
is either NULL or refers to a full page (only occurence
in init/do_mounts.c::do_mount_root()). The second and
fourth parameters (char *dir_name, unsigned long flags)
are passed by ksys_mount() to do_mount() unchanged, and
therefore do not require particular care.

Moreover, instead of pretending to be userspace, the opening
of /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr can be implemented
using in-kernel functions as well. Thereby, ksys_dup() can
be removed for good.

---

Changes since the split-series patches[1,2]:
- merge both series (on suggestion by Linus)
- remove pointless cast (on suggestion by Linus)
