atomic_open(): fix the handling of create_error
commit 10c64cea upstream. * if we have a hashed negative dentry and either CREAT|EXCL on r/o filesystem, or CREAT|TRUNC on r/o filesystem, or CREAT|EXCL with failing may_o_create(), we should fail with EROFS or the error may_o_create() has returned, but not ENOENT. Which is what the current code ends up returning. * if we have CREAT|TRUNC hitting a regular file on a read-only filesystem, we can't fail with EROFS here. At the very least, not until we'd done follow_managed() - we might have a writable file (or a device, for that matter) bound on top of that one. Moreover, the code downstream will see that O_TRUNC and attempt to grab the write access (*after* following possible mount), so if we really should fail with EROFS, it will happen. No need to do that inside atomic_open(). The real logics is much simpler than what the current code is trying to do - if we decided to go for simple lookup, ended up with a negative dentry *and* had create_error set, fail with create_error. No matter whether we'd got that negative dentry from lookup_real() or had found it in dcache.
