Subject: path_openat(): fix double fput()

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit f15133df088ecadd141ea1907f2c96df67c729f0 upstream.

path_openat() jumps to the wrong place after do_tmpfile() - it has
already done path_cleanup() (as part of path_lookupat() called by
do_tmpfile()), so doing that again can lead to double fput().
