Fixes for 'blocking in fifoor state' problem of LTP tests.
linux_*stat*() functions were opening files with O_RDONLY to get
major/minor pair for char/block special files.  Unfortunately,
when these functions are used against fifo, it is blocked forever
because there is no writer.  Instead, we only open char/block special
files for major/minor conversion.  We have to get rid of kern_open()
entirely from translate_path_major_minor() but today is not the day.
While I am here, add checks for errors before calling
translate_path_major_minor().
