PATCH v2 1/1 configfs: Fix config_item refcnt error in __configfs_open_file()

From: Daniel Rosenberg <[email protected]>

__configfs_open_file() used to use configfs_get_config_item, but changed in commit b0841eefd969 ("configfs: provide exclusion between IO and removals") to just call to_item. The error path still tries to clean up the reference, incorrectly decrementing the ref count.

This should already be covered by:

Yup, identical patch, sorry I missed that one, hopefully it hits Linus's tree soon.
