Actually, I think we can do even better. How about just having
do_filp_open() exit after LOOKUP_RCU fails, if LOOKUP_RCU was already
set in the lookup flags? Then we don't need to change much else, and
most of it falls out naturally.

Except it seems that should work, except LOOKUP_RCU does not guarantee
that we're not going to do IO:

Which I'm actually pretty sure that I discovered before and attempted to
do a LOOKUP_NONBLOCK, which was kind of half assed and that Al
(rightfully) hated because of that.
