file: massage cleanup of files that failed to open



A file that has never gotten FMODE_OPENED will never have RCU-accessed
references, its final fput() is equivalent to file_free() and if it
doesn't have FMODE_BACKING either, it can be done from any context and
won't need task_work treatment.

Now that we have SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU we can simplify this and have
other callers benefit. All of that can be achieved easier is to make
fput() recoginze that case and call file_free() directly.

No need to introduce a special primitive for that. It also allowed
things like failing dentry_open() could benefit from that as well.
