From: Erez Zadok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
We have to read-lock the superblock rwsem, and we have to revalidate the
parent dentry and this one. A branch-management operation could have taken
place, mid-way through a VFS operation that eventually reaches
unionfs_create(). So we have to ensure consistency, just as we do with the
file operations.
