it's easier to drop it right after lookup_open() and regain if needed (i.e. if we will need to truncate). On the non-FMODE_OPENED path we do that anyway. In case of FMODE_CREATED we won't be needing it. And it's easier to prove correctness that way, especially since the initial failure to get write access is not always fatal; proving that we'll never end up truncating in that case is rather convoluted.
