[PATCH] vfs: Don't leak a path when get_empty_filp in dentry_open

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

Normally in dentry_open the passed in path is placed on the new filp
removing the caller from needing to worry about it.  In the rare case
that we can not allocate a filp the path is not consumed.  None of the
callers of dentry_open call path_put in their error handling when
dentry_open fails so call path_put for them on error and keep everyone's
error handling simple.
