      atomic_open(): fix the handling of create_error · 10c64cea
      Al Viro authored
      * 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.
