fs/vfs: enforce pseudoFS permissions on mutation operations

Add pseudoFS permission enforcement for unlink(), mkdir(), and rename() VFS mutation operations.

This change validates parent-directory permissions before modifying pseudoFS inode topology and returns -EACCES for unauthorized operations.

The implementation preserves mountpoint filesystem behavior and fixes multiple inode lifetime/search-state issues in the rename path.

* Description:
* Validate that 'inode' can be opened with the access described by
* 'oflags'. Two sequential checks are performed:
*
* 1. Operation-support check (all inode types, unconditional):
* Verifies the driver exposes the read/write entry points required by
* 'oflags'. Returns -ENXIO when ops are NULL and -EACCES when the
* required entry point is absent. Pseudo-directory inodes
* (INODE_IS_PSEUDODIR) are exempted from this step.

* 2. UNIX permission check (pseudo-filesystem inodes only):
* Compares effective uid/gid against i_mode owner/group/other bits.
* Mountpoint inodes and kernel threads are unconditionally exempted.
* Requires CONFIG_PSEUDOFS_ATTRIBUTES and CONFIG_SCHED_USER_IDENTITY;

* Validate open access to 'inode' for 'oflags'. Checks driver operation

* Input Parameters:
