[PATCH] vfs: allow O_PATH file descriptors for open_by_handle_at()

[NeilBrown]

The purpose of the "mount_fd" arg to open_by_handle_at() is solely to
identify a particular mount.  i.e.  it indicates "a location in the
filesystem tree" which is one of the purposes of O_PATH.

So change fdget() to fdget_raw().

This seems generally sensible, but will particularly be useful in
preparing the Lustre filesystem for upstream.
