Have nfs ->d_revalidate() report errors properly

If nfs atomic open implementation ends up doing open request from
->d_revalidate() codepath and gets an error from server, return that error
to caller explicitly and don't bother with lookup_instantiate_filp() at all.
->d_revalidate() can return an error itself just fine...
