H A Dnamei.c10c64cea Wed Apr 27 00:11:55 CDT 2016 Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> atomic_open(): fix the handling of create_error

* if we have a hashed negative dentry and either CREAT|EXCL on
r/o filesystem, or CREAT|TRUNC on r/o filesystem, or CREAT|EXCL
with failing may_o_create(), we should fail with EROFS or the
error may_o_create() has returned, but not ENOENT. Which is what
the current code ends up returning.

* if we have CREAT|TRUNC hitting a regular file on a read-only
filesystem, we can't fail with EROFS here. At the very least,
not until we'd done follow_managed() - we might have a writable
file (or a device, for that matter) bound on top of that one.
Moreover, the code downstream will see that O_TRUNC and attempt
to grab the write access (*after* following possible mount), so
if we really should fail with EROFS, it will happen. No need
to do that inside atomic_open().

The real logics is much simpler than what the current code is
trying to do - if we decided to go for simple lookup, ended
up with a negative dentry *and* had create_error set, fail with
create_error. No matter whether we'd got that negative dentry
from lookup_real() or had found it in dcache.
