Kernel: Clarify ambiguous {File,Description}::absolute_path

Browse source 
Found due to smelly code in InodeFile::absolute_path.

In particular, this replaces the following misleading methods:

File::absolute_path
This method *never* returns an actual path, and if called on an
InodeFile (which is impossible), it would VERIFY_NOT_REACHED().

OpenFileDescription::try_serialize_absolute_path
OpenFileDescription::absolute_path
These methods do not guarantee to return an actual path (just like the
other method), and just like Custody::absolute_path they do not
guarantee accuracy. In particular, just renaming the method made a
TOCTOU bug obvious.

The new method signatures use KResultOr, just like
try_serialize_absolute_path() already did.
