nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate
NFSv4 can't do reliable opens in d_revalidate, since it cannot know whether a
mount needs to be followed or not. It does check d_mountpoint() on the dentry,
which can result in a weird error if the VFS found that the mount does not in
fact need to be followed, e.g.:
# mount --bind /mnt/nfs /mnt/nfs-clone
# echo something > /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
# echo x > /tmp/file
# mount --bind /tmp/file /mnt/nfs-clone/tmp/bar
# cat /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
cat: /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar: Not a directory
Which should, by any sane filesystem, result in "something" being printed.
So instead do the open in f_op->open() and in the unlikely case that the cached
dentry turned out to be invalid, drop the dentry and return EOPENSTALE to let
the VFS retry.
