From: Andreas Mohr <andi@rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de>

Replace current->fs by fs helper variable to reduce some indirection
overhead and (at least at the moment, before the current_thread_info() %gs
PDA improvement is available) get rid of more costly current references. 
Reduces fs/namei.o from 37786 to 37082 Bytes (704 Bytes saved).
