vfs: correct the comments of vfs_*() helpers
correct the comments of vfs_*() helpers in fs/namei.c, including: 1. vfs_create() 2. vfs_mknod() 3. vfs_mkdir() 4. vfs_rmdir() 5. vfs_symlink() All of them come from the same commit: 6521f8917082 "namei: prepare for idmapped mounts" The @dentry is actually the dentry of child directory rather than base directory(parent directory), and thus the @dir has to be modified due to the change of @dentry.
