Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] kernfs: Rename kernfs_put_open_node to kernfs_unlink_open_file.

Since we are no longer using refcnt for kernfs_open_node instances, rename
kernfs_put_open_node to kernfs_unlink_open_file to reflect this change.
Also update function description and inline comments accordingly.
