kernfs: combine ino/id lookup functions into kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id()
kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino() looks the kernfs_node matching the
specified ino. On top of that, kernfs_get_node_by_id() and
kernfs_fh_get_inode() implement full ID matching by testing the rest
of ID.
On surface, confusingly, the two are slightly different in that the
latter uses 0 gen as wildcard while the former doesn't - does it mean
that the latter can't uniquely identify inodes w/ 0 gen? In practice,
this is a distinction without a difference because generation number
starts at 1. There are no actual IDs with 0 gen, so it can always
safely used as wildcard.
Let's simplify the code by renaming kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_ino()
to kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id(), moving all lookup logics into it,
and removing now unnecessary kernfs_get_node_by_id().
