Revert "fs: fold open_check_o_direct into do_dentry_open"

This reverts commit cab64df1.

Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to
struct file combined with

	error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
	if (error) {
		put_filp(f);
		return ERR_PTR(error);
	}
	return f;

is flat-out wrong.  It used to be

		error = vfs_open(path, f, cred);
		if (!error) {
			/* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */
			error = open_check_o_direct(f);
			if (error) {
				fput(f);
				f = ERR_PTR(error);
			}
		} else {
			put_filp(f);
			f = ERR_PTR(error);
		}

and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is
nice, but not that way...

Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt
FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file
already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set.  Guess what happens in
path_openat(), when it hits

	if (!(opened & FILE_OPENED)) {
		BUG_ON(!error);
		put_filp(file);
	}
