The function used to do two things:
1) Walk the directory tree in a manner safe from symlink attacks
2) Open the final component in the mode requested by the caller
This change drops (2), which was only used once, and lets the caller
handle it. This simplifies the function and makes it fit for reuse in
forward mode in openBackingPath(), and for using O_PATH on Linux.
Steps to reproduce:
* Create a regular reverse mount point
* Create a file "test" in the original directory
* Access the corresponding encrypted directory in the mount point (ls <encrypted dir>)
* Quickly delete the file in the original data - instead create a device node
* Access the file again, it will access the device node and attempt to read from it

With hard links, the path to a file is not unique. This means
that the ciphertext data depends on the path that is used to access
the files.
Fix that by storing the derived values when we encounter a hard-linked
file. This means that the first path wins.
