So we will have at least the following helpers with an additional
delegated inode argument.

vfs_unlink()
vfs_link()
notify_change()
vfs_create()
vfs_mknod()
vfs_mkdir()
vfs_rmdir()

From looking at callers all these helpers will be called with non-NULL
delegated inode argument in vfs only. Unless it is generally conceivable
that other callers will want to pass a non-NULL inode argument over time
it might make more sense to add vfs_<operation>_delegated() or
__vfs_<operation>() and make vfs_mknod() and friends exported wrappers
around it.

I mean it's a matter of preference ultimately but this seems cleaner to
me. So at least for the new ones we should consider it. Would also make
the patch smaller.
