This is a left over from an earlier version that creates a lot of complexity for error unwind, particularly for FD uobjects. The only reason this was done is so that anon_inode_get_file() could be called with the final fops and a fully setup uobject. Both need to be setup since unwinding anon_inode_get_file() via fput will call the driver's release(). Now that the driver does not provide release, we no longer need to worry about this complicated sequence, simply create the struct file at the start and allow the core code's release function to deal with the abort case. This allows all the confusing error paths around commit to be removed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
