[PATCH 10/12] HPPFS: don't open a file when it stays unused

["Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso" <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>]

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

hppfs_follow_link() and hppfs_readlink() open the file but then doesn't use it,
apart for fput().

I assume that dropping this dentry_open doesn't remove any needed permission
checking.
