Subject: [RFC][PATCH 04/27] make sure do_dentry_open() won't return positive as an error

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

An ->open() instances really, really should not be doing that.  There's
a lot of places e.g. around atomic_open() that could be confused by that,
so let's catch that early.
