dvp...

Hello...

I was wondering why sometimes we can use dvp in mac functions and sometimes
we got only file's vnode and no directory's vnode.

For example we got dvp in:

mac_*_check_vnode_delete()
mac_*_check_vnode_link()

etc., but no in:

mac_*_check_vnode_access()

I could understand that there is no sense to put dvp in functions that
operates on file descryptors, because in theory we can't find its directory,
but access(2) operates on file name, so?
