Then we returned from lookup_open in do_last we go to 'opened' lable.
Then we have a 3(!) chances to return -1 while a file is created
(open_check_o_direct, ima_file_check, handle_truncate). In this case
these places are bugs too.

We can call vfs_unlink if we failed after a file was created, but
possible affects need to be investigated.
