Fix :scalar layer to allow it to exist under other layers.
Actual fix is just the if (!f) test before calling
PerlIO_allocate(). Rest of change is conforming to
standard indent.

DJGPP was broken by #17270.  Because of the time crunch
we may not have time to investigate how that is possible,
since the #17270 was trying to protect against illegal
memory accesses... (the breakage of the DJGPP build was
manifested by configpm eating up all the available memory)
