Do we really need the opendata structure?

It seems like we could just pass a struct path instead of the dentry
passed directly and the vfsmount in it.  There should be no need to
preallocate the file before calling into ->atomic_open, as it's only
used to pass around f_flags - but we already pass that one to
->atomic_open directly and might as well pass it on to finish_open and
allocate the file there.
