vfs: improve i_op->atomic_open() documentation

Fix documentation of ->atomic_open() and related functions: finish_open()
and finish_no_open().  Also add details that seem to be unclear and a
source of bugs (some of which are fixed in the following series).

Cc-ing maintainers of all filesystems implementing ->atomic_open().

usual 0 or -ve . This method is only called if the last component is

set in "opened". In case of O_EXCL the method must only succeed if the
file didn't exist and hence FILE_CREATED shall always be set on success.
tmpfile: called in the end of O_TMPFILE open(). Optional, equivalent to
atomically creating, opening and unlinking a file in given directory.
