several iterations of ->atomic_open() calling conventions ago, we
used to need fput() if ->atomic_open() failed at some point after
successful finish_open(). Now (since 2016) it's not needed -
struct file carries enough state to make fput() work regardless
of the point in struct file lifecycle and discarding it on
failure exits in open() got unified. Unfortunately, I'd missed
the fact that we had an instance of ->atomic_open() (cifs one)
that used to need that fput(), as well as the stale comment in
finish_open() demanding such late failure handling. Trivially
fixed...

With all those document shifts, references to documents get
broken.
Fix one such occurrence at porting.rst.

This file has its own proper style, except that, after a while,
the coding style gets violated and whitespaces are placed on
different ways.
As Sphinx and ReST are very sentitive to whitespace differences,
I had to opt if each entry after required/mandatory/... fields
should start with zero spaces or with a tab. I opted to start them
all from the zero position, in order to avoid needing to break lines
with more than 80 columns, with would make harder for review.
Most of the other changes at porting.rst were made to use an unified
notation with works nice as a text file while also produce a good html
output after being parsed.
