Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fs: reorganize path_openat()

This patch moves the call to alloc_empty_file() below the call to
path_init(). That changes is needed for the next patch, which adds
a cred override for alloc_empty_file(). The needed cred info is only
available after the call to path_init().

No functional changes are intended by that patch.

Yep, its re-sent with every new iteartion,
but doesn't change by itself (the other
one changes).
Is there anything I can do to avoid
unneeded duplicates of an unchanged
patch?
Manually reduce Cc list until the patch
changes? That looks too much of a trouble
though.

Ok.

Can't gcc deduce this on its own?
But ok, will do.
