Colin Ian King reported the following 1. create a minix file system and mount it 2. open a file on the file system with O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_DIRECT 3. open fails with -EINVAL but leaves an empty file behind. All other open() failures don't leave the failed open files behind. The reason is because when checking the O_DIRECT in do_dentry_open, the inode has created, and later err processing can't remove the inode. The patch will remove the file in last step of open in do_open().
