Move the SB_NOUSER and IS_PRIVATE dentry check to a standalone
is_nouser_or_private() helper. This will be useful for a following
commit.

Move get_mode_access() and maybe_remove() to make them usable by new
code provided by a following commit.

I might suggest moving this explanation up to a function header comment block.

Sounds good.
