This is simply duplicating many of the existing checks.
I don't see how this is an improvement.

Pure duplication (of course adding nameidata, although I think you just
want path).

Also duplication.  And why the unique flag handling, you don't seem to
ever check?

More duplication, you'll get a call chain like:

sys_mknod
  security_path_mknod
    pre_vfs_mknod
  vfs_mknod
   pre_vfs_mknod
   security_inode_mknod
