kernfs: cache atomic_write_len in kernfs_open_file

While implementing atomic_write_len, 4d3773c4bb41 ("kernfs: implement
kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len") moved data copy from userland inside
kernfs_get_active() and kernfs_open_file->mutex so that
kernfs_ops->atomic_write_len can be accessed before copying buffer
from userland; unfortunately, this could lead to locking order
inversion involving mmap_sem if copy_from_user() takes a page fault.

Fix it by caching atomic_write_len in kernfs_open_file during open so
that it can be determined without accessing kernfs_ops in
kernfs_fop_write().  This restores the structure of kernfs_fop_write()
before 4d3773c4bb41 with updated @len determination logic.
