The file opening action on the system may be from user-mode sys_open()

Currently, fsnotify_open() is invoked in do_sys_openat2().
But filp_open() is not notified. Why? Is this an omission?
Do we need to call fsnotify_open() in filp_open() or do_filp_open() to
ensure that both user-mode and kernel-mode file opening operations can
be notified?
Do you have a specific use case of kernel filp_open() in mind?
For example, in fs/coredump.c, do_coredump() calls filp_open() to
generate core files.
In this scenario, the fsnotify_open() notification is missing.
