This splits off a do_user_path_at_empty function from the
user_path_at_empty_function. This is required so it can be
called from io_uring.

(Not excited we're continuing exposing two variants one with char *name
and struct filename *filename but we've done it for the mkdir/mknod etc
series already. But we should earmark this for something that we might
look into doing better in the near future.)
