Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fs: reorganize path_openat()

This patch moves the call to alloc_empty_file() below the call to
path_init(). That changes is needed for the next patch, which adds
a cred override for alloc_empty_file(). The needed cred info is only
available after the call to path_init().

No functional changes are intended by that patch.
