I would like to leave things as they are right now. It makes it
pretty explicit what fixup is needed and performed.

As you know, discovery of this bug came out of my hugetlbfs fallocate
work. In that patchset, I created a race fixup routine. If fallocate
moves forward, I'll reexamine the above fixups and look into helpers.

Thanks for the review,
