This patch moves the call to alloc_empty_file() down the if branches. That changes is needed for the next patch, which adds a cred override for alloc_empty_file(). The cred override is only needed in one branch, i.e. it is not needed for O_PATH and O_TMPFILE.. No functional changes are intended by that patch.
