No callers of kern_path_locked() or user_path_locked_at() want a
negative dentry.  So change them to return -ENOENT instead.  This
simplifies callers.

This results in a subtle change to bcachefs in that an ioctl will now
return -ENOENT in preference to -EXDEV.  I believe this restores the
behaviour to what it was prior to
 Commit bbe6a7c899e7 ("bch2_ioctl_subvolume_destroy(): fix locking")
