Subject: [PATCH RFC] fs: introduce a default_open for simple f_op->open use

There are many f_op->open implementations that simply do:

	file->private_data = inode->i_private;

This introduces a new global symbol, default_open, that can be
used instead of the private implementations.

This also removes a couple private implementations that share the
same symbol name.

If this patch looks reasonable, I have some additional patches that
convert all other similar f_op->open implemenations to use default_open
tree wide.  The full diffstat looks like this:
