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.
