This patch moves the call to alloc_empty_file() down the if branches.
That changes is needed for the next patch, which adds a cred override
for alloc_empty_file(). The cred override is only needed in one branch,
i.e. it is not needed for O_PATH and O_TMPFILE..
No functional changes are intended by that patch.
