debugfs: full_proxy_open(): free proxy on ->open() failure



Debugfs' full_proxy_open(), the ->open() installed at all inodes created
through debugfs_create_file(),
- grabs a reference to the original struct file_operations instance passed
  to debugfs_create_file(),
- dynamically allocates a proxy struct file_operations instance wrapping
  the original
- and installs this at the file's ->f_op.

Afterwards, it calls the original ->open() and passes its return value back
to the VFS layer.

Now, if that return value indicates failure, the VFS layer won't ever call
->release() and thus, neither the reference to the original file_operations
nor the memory for the proxy file_operations will get released, i.e. both
are leaked.

Upon failure of the original fops' ->open(), undo the proxy installation.
That is:
- Set the struct file ->f_op to what it had been when full_proxy_open()
  was entered.
- Drop the reference to the original file_operations.
- Free the memory holding the proxy file_operations.

                      data")
