H A Dbinderfs.ce98e6fa1 Mon Jan 21 04:48:03 CST 2019 Christian Brauner <christian@brauner.io> binderfs: prevent renaming the control dentry

- make binderfs control dentry immutable:
We don't allow to unlink it since it is crucial for binderfs to be
useable but if we allow to rename it we make the unlink trivial to
bypass. So prevent renaming too and simply treat the control dentry as
immutable.

- add is_binderfs_control_device() helper:
Take the opportunity and turn the check for the control dentry into a
separate helper is_binderfs_control_device() since it's now used in two
places.

- simplify binderfs_rename():
Instead of hand-rolling our custom version of simple_rename() just dumb
the whole function down to first check whether we're trying to rename the
control dentry. If we do EPERM the caller and if not call simple_rename().
