The code around vfs_create() in open_namei() is getting a
bit too complex. Right now, there is at least the reference
count on the dentry, and the i_mutex to worry about. Soon,
we'll also have mnt_writecount.
So, break the vfs_create() call out of open_namei(), and
into a helper function. This duplicates the call to
may_open(), but that isn't such a bad thing since the
arguments (acc_mode and flag) were being heavily massaged
anyway.
Later in the series, we'll add the mnt_writecount handling
around this new function call.
