FWIW, I would've taken that to fs/libfs.c, sans the assignment of ->i_fop.
BTW, are you sure that you want it to be opened via procfs symlink?  Is that
even possible?  IOW, what's that ->i_fop for?

Why is it not static?  And why bother with fops as argument, etc.?

Also pointless, AFAICS.  BTW, you've just open-coded fops_get(fops), not
that it mattered in this case...

Umm...  ITYM
	struct qstr this = QSTR_INIT("[aio]", 5);
, if not
	path.dentry = d_alloc_pseudo(aio_mnt->mnt_sb,
				     &(struct qstr)QSTR_INIT("[aio]", 5));

Pointless, BTW - alloc_file() will have already set it that way.

And that module_put is pointless as well here.
