Linus reading through this it looks like your error handling is wrong.

^^^^^^^
If this open fails the code jumps to err_put_path which falls
through into out_put_fsi. But it also does path_put(pts_path).
Which will result in a double mntput of mnt.
So I think err_path_put needs to be updated to just put the dentry,
and let the later mntput put the mount.
