minimal fix for do_filp_open() race

failure exits on the no-O_CREAT side of do_filp_open() merge with
those of O_CREAT one; unfortunately, if do_path_lookup() returns
-ESTALE, we'll get out_filp:, notice that we are about to return
-ESTALE without having trying to create the sucker with LOOKUP_REVAL
and jump right into the O_CREAT side of code.  And proceed to try
and create a file.  Usually that'll fail with -ESTALE again, but
we can race and get that attempt of pathname resolution to succeed.

open() without O_CREAT really shouldn't end up creating files, races
or not.  The real fix is to rearchitect the whole do_filp_open(),
but for now splitting the failure exits will do.
