Use try_lookup_noperm() instead of d_hash_and_lookup() outside of VFS

Browse source 
try_lookup_noperm() and d_hash_and_lookup() are nearly identical.  The
former does some validation of the name where the latter doesn't.
Outside of the VFS that validation is likely valuable, and having only
one exported function for this task is certainly a good idea.

So make d_hash_and_lookup() local to VFS files and change all other
callers to try_lookup_noperm().  Note that the arguments are swapped.
