Subject: [PATCH 2/6] r/o bind mount prepwork: move open_namei()'s vfs_create()


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.
