My end goal here is to make sure all users of may_open() return filps. This will ensure that we properly release mount write counts which were taken for the filp in may_open().
This patch moves the sys_open flags to namei flags calculation into fs/namei.c. We'll shortly be moving the nameidata_to_filp() calls into namei.c, and this gets the sys_open flags to a place where we can get at them when we need them.
