fs/namei.c: update stale comments in lookup_open()
Commit ddb6e6c72a0a ("VFS: move mnt_want_write() and locking into
lookup_open()") moved the parent inode locking into lookup_open(), but
left the comment claiming the caller has to take it. A caller following
that comment now deadlocks, and the series added a second caller.
Describe what the function actually does. While at it drop the claim
that it returns 0 on success and updates @path, wrong ever since
lookup_open() started returning a dentry in v5.7, and fix the reference
to lookup_open() in a comment that now sits inside lookup_open() itself.
