[PATCH] fs: tidy up do_sys_openat2() with likely/unlikely
From: Mateusz Guzik
Date: Thu Mar 20 2025 - 05:25:21 EST
Otherwise gcc 13 generates conditional forward jumps (aka branch
mispredict by default) for build_open_flags() being succesfull.

maybe i'll get around to do it a full pass instead of sending byte-sized
patchen. someone(tm) should definitely do it.
