[PATCH] Update VFS mknod to use struct smb_filename.

[Jeremy Allison]

Hi all,

In order to do the things we need to do in the VFS
moving forward and modernize it, we need to remove
all uses of pathnames passed in as const char *, and
replace them with const struct smb_filename *. This
will allow us to do all the fancy timestamp stuff etc.
I mentioned in my previous patch.

The functions we need to fix are:

disk_free
rename
link
symlink
chdir
readlink
mknod
realpth
getxattr
listxattr
removexattr
setxattr
get_real_filename
chflags

So here is a start, fixing the VFS mknod call
(it was an easy one to start with :-). Most of
these fixups are boilerplate, as most of the
other calls already use const struct smb_filename *.

This is independent of my other patch fixing
up the flags in pathname processing so can
be reviewed and pushed independently of that.

Please review and push if happy !

Cheers,

	Jeremy.
