fs: use a helper for opening kernel internal files

cachefiles uses kernel_open_tmpfile() to open kernel internal tmpfile
without accounting for nr_files.

cachefiles uses open_with_fake_path() for the same reason without the
need for a fake path.

Fork open_with_fake_path() to kernel_file_open() which only does the
noaccount part and use it in cachefiles.
