The vfs_ helper functions are the ones calling the lsm hooks in many cases. Any lsm that makes pathname based decisions will need both the dentry and vfsmount for figuring out a file's pathname. I don't see a better way of passing that information to the lsm hooks than passing it through the vfs_ helpers.
