4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit b4e7a7a88b5d060650094b8d3454bc521d669f6a upstream. Failure of ->open() should *not* be followed by fput(). Fixed by using filp_clone_open(), which gets the cleanups right.
