ksmbd: fix recursive locking in vfs helpers

commit 807252f028c59b9a3bac4d62ad84761548c10f11 upstream.

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().
