From: Al Viro <v...@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit dd20908a8a06b22c171f6c3fcdbdbd65bed07505 upstream.
it's pointless and actually leads to wrong behaviour in at least one
moderately convoluted case (pipe(), close one end, try to get to
another via /proc/*/fd and run into ETXTBUSY).
