Merge patch series "two nits for path lookup"

Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@gmail.com> says:

Since path looku is being looked at, two extra nits from me:

1. some trivial jump avoidance in inode_permission()

2. but more importantly avoiding a memory access which is most likely a
cache miss when descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()

the file seems to have no maintainer fwiw

anyhow I'm confident the way forward is to add IOP_FAST_MAY_EXEC (or
similar) to elide inode_permission() in the common case to begin with.
There are quite a few branches which straight up don't need execute.
On top of that btrfs has a permission hook only to check for MAY_WRITE,
which in case of path lookup is not set. With the above flag the call
will be avoided.
