[PATCH 6.18.y 1/3] new helper: simple_remove_by_name()

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 4051a9115ad24bb9a691774730ca9c1dd56de665 ]

simple_recursive_removal(), but instead of victim dentry it takes
parent + name.

Used to be open-coded in fs/fuse/control.c, but there's no need to expose
the guts of that thing there and there are other potential users, so
let's lift it into libfs...
