[PATCH 041/112] fs: support opening /

With open() on / no longer accessing uninitialized memory, it now always
fails with errno == ENOENT. This is because d_lookup only compares
children of /, but never / itself.

Fix this by comparing the parent and while at it, rework the existing
code to be more concise.
