fs/namei.c: fix kerneldoc of atomic_open() and vfs_lookup_open()

Commit ba0e87026613 ("fs/namei.c: update kerneldoc of atomic_open()")
turned the comment above atomic_open() into kerneldoc, but wrote the
return description as running text.  kernel-doc only recognises a return
section introduced by "Return:" or "Returns:", so this added a warning
under W=1:

  fs/namei.c:4362 No description found for return value of 'atomic_open'

Give it the missing colon.  The summary line also has to stand on its
own line, so move the "from a negative dentry" part into the body, where
it can say that the caller has to hand over a negative dentry.

Also add the "to" missing from vfs_lookup_open()'s description.
