    linux: Make iops mkdir return a struct dentry *
    
    The Linux 6.15 commit:
    'Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry *' (88d5baf69082)
    changed the signature for the return value for mkdir member of the
    inope_operations structure.
    
    The new return value for mkdir needs to be as follows:
    
        NULL if the directory was created and no other dentry was used
        ERR_PTR() if an error occured
        non-NULL pointer to a different dentry was used.
    
    OpenAFS does not use a different dentry, so returning NULL or ERR_PTR
    is sufficient.
    
    Introduce a new autoconf check to determine if the inode_ops.mkdir needs
    to return a pointer to a dentry.
    
    Update afs_linux_mkdir to use ERR_PTR() on the return value.
