vfs: make LAST_XXX private to fs/namei.c

The only user of LAST_XXX outside of fs/namei.c is fs/smb/server/vfs.c;
ksmbd_vfs_path_lookup() calls vfs_path_parent_lookup() and expects a
LAST_NORM last type (or it will be ENOENT). ksmbd_vfs_rename() also calls
vfs_path_parent_lookup() but forgets the LAST_NORM check.

It does not really make sense to have vfs_path_parent_lookup() expose
the last_type because it is only needed to ensure it is LAST_NORM. So
let's do this check in vfs_path_parent_lookup() instead and keep the
LAST_XXX internal to fs/namei.c. This changes the ENOENT errno in
ksmbd_vfs_path_lookup() to EINVAL, which matches better with how this is
handled by callers of filename_parentat().
