ACK.  It used to happen as a side effect of O_CREAT being required
in the flags, but that broke once we switched to use of O_DIRECTORY.

I've applied both Andi's patches (along with one from Zheng Liu) in
vfs.git #for-linus.  Another thing in there is reiserfs umount
deadlock fix - that one needs to go in all branches starting from
2.6.23.

Please, pull from the usual place -
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-linus
