sys_newlstat is a system call implementation that is meant for user space, and that copies kernel-internal data structure to the user format, which is not needed for in-kernel users.
Further, as we rearrange the system call implementation so we can extend it with 64-bit time_t, the prototype for sys_newlstat changes.
This changes the initramfs code to use vfs_lstat directly, to get it out of the way of the time_t changes, and make it slightly more efficient in the process. Along the same lines we also replace sys_stat and sys_stat64 with vfs_stat.

Andrew or Al, could one of you pick this up for v4.12? --- init/do_mounts.h | 22 ++++------------------ init/initramfs.c | 12 ++++++------ 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-)
