compat: backport simple_open()

This is not yet upstream on Linus' tree so my best guess is
it will make it on the 3.5 release.

    libfs: add simple_open()

    debugfs and a few other drivers use an open-coded version of simple_open()
    to pass a pointer from the file to the read/write file ops.  Add support
    for this simple case to libfs so that we can remove the many duplicate
    copies of this simple function.
