Subject: [Patch] mqueue: fix the bad code in sys_mq_open()


Fix bad code in ipc/mqueue.c.

Inspired by André Goddard Rosa's  patch.

a) do_create() and do_open() should not release the resources which
   are not acquired within themselves, it's their caller's work;

b) Fix an fd leak;

c) The goto label 'out_upsem' doesn't make any sense, rename to
   'out_unlock';

d) mntget() should be called before looking up dentry within
   ->mnt->mnt_root;

e) When dealing with failure case, we should release the resources
   in a reversed order of acquiring, so reorder the goto labels;

f) Remove some unused labels due to reorder.

Also, this shrinks the binary by 60 bytes:

   text	      data     bss       dec	    hex	filename
   7674       1684        8      9366      2496	ipc/mqueue.o.BEFORE
   7614	      1684        8      9306      245a	ipc/mqueue.o.AFTER
