[0/2] prep patches for my mkdir series

Message

NeilBrown Feb. 26, 2025, 6:18 a.m. UTC

These two patches are cleanup are dependencies for my mkdir changes and
subsequence directory locking changes.  Both have been discussed with
the maintainers.  I would like these to land via the VFS tree to smooth
the way for landing the mkdir series which I plan to repost after these
are in vfs.all.

The patches are against 6.14-rc4

Thanks,
NeilBrown
