[PATCH v5 30/68] do_filp_open(): DTRT when getting ERR_PTR() as pathname

The rest of the set_nameidata() callers treat IS_ERR(pathname) as
"bail out immediately with PTR_ERR(pathname) as error".  Makes
life simpler for callers; do_filp_open() is the only exception
and its callers would also benefit from such calling conventions
change.
