New helper (non-exported, fs/internal.h-only): __d_alloc(sb, name).
Allocates dentry, sets its ->d_sb to given superblock and sets
->d_op accordingly.  Old d_alloc(NULL, name) callers are converted
to that (all of them know what superblock they want).  d_alloc()
itself is left only for parent != NULl case; uses __d_alloc(),
inserts result into the list of parent's children.

Note that now ->d_sb is assign-once and never NULL *and*
->d_parent is never NULL either.

We do _NOT_ want to mkdir the path itself - we are preparing to
mknod it, after all.  Normally it'll fail with -ENOENT and
just do nothing, but if somebody has created the parent in
the meanwhile, we'll get buggered...

Instead of playing with removal of LOOKUP_OPEN, mangling (and
restoring) nd->path, just pass NULL to vfs_create().  The whole
point of what's being done there is to suppress any attempts
to open file by underlying fs, which is what nd == NULL indicates.

Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

a) check the right flags in ->create() (LOOKUP_OPEN, not LOOKUP_CREATE)
b) default (!LOOKUP_OPEN) open_flags is O_CREAT|O_EXCL|FMODE_READ, not 0
c) lookup_instantiate_filp() should be done only with LOOKUP_OPEN;
otherwise we need to issue CLOSE, lest we leak stateid on server.
