fs: add kern_path_locked_negative()

The audit code relies on the fact that kern_path_locked() returned a
path even for a negative dentry. If it doesn't find a valid dentry it
immediately calls:

    audit_find_parent(d_backing_inode(parent_path.dentry));

which assumes that parent_path.dentry is still valid. But it isn't since
kern_path_locked() has been changed to path_put() also for a negative
dentry.

Fix this by adding a helper that implements the required audit semantics
and allows us to fix the immediate bleeding. We can find a unified
solution for this afterwards.
