Christoph Hellwig eb9d7d390e init: add an init_eaccess helper
Add a simple helper to check if a file exists based on kernel space file
name and switch the early init code over to it.  Note that this
theoretically changes behavior as it always is based on the effective
permissions.  But during early init that doesn't make a difference.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
