[PATCH 1/2] kernel/acct.c: saner struct file treatment

[Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>]

[first commit in work.f_path]

	Instead of switching ->f_path.mnt of an opened file to internal
clone, resolve the pathname, get a struct path with ->mnt set to internal
clone, then dentry_open() that to get the file with right ->f_path.mnt
from the very beginning.
    
	The only subtle part here is that on failure exits we need to
close the file with __fput_sync() and make sure we do that *before*
dropping the original mount.
    
	With that done, only fs/{file_table,open,namei}.c ever store
anything to file->f_path and only prior to file->f_mode & FMODE_OPENED
becoming true.  Analysis of mount write count handling also becomes
less brittle and convoluted...
