Fix possible filp_cachep memory corruption 

In commit 31e6b01f41 ("fs: rcu-walk for path lookup") we started doing
path lookup using RCU, which then falls back to a careful non-RCU lookup
in case of problems (LOOKUP_REVAL).  So do_filp_open() has this "re-do
the lookup carefully" looping case.

However, that means that we must not release the open-intent file data
if we are going to loop around and use it once more!

Fix this by moving the release of the open-intent data to the function
that allocates it (do_filp_open() itself) rather than the helper
functions that can get called multiple times (finish_open() and
do_last()).  This makes the logic for the lifetime of that field much
more obvious, and avoids the possible double free.
