Instead of playing with removal of LOOKUP_OPEN, mangling (and
restoring) nd->path, just pass NULL to vfs_create(). The whole
point of what's being done there is to suppress any attempts
to open file by underlying fs, which is what nd == NULL indicates.

a) check the right flags in ->create() (LOOKUP_OPEN, not LOOKUP_CREATE)
b) default (!LOOKUP_OPEN) open_flags is O_CREAT|O_EXCL|FMODE_READ, not 0
c) lookup_instantiate_filp() should be done only with LOOKUP_OPEN;
otherwise we need to issue CLOSE, lest we leak stateid on server.

capability overrides apply only to the default case; if fs has ->permission()
that does _not_ call generic_permission(), we have no business doing them.
Moreover, if it has ->permission() that does call generic_permission(), we
have no need to recheck capabilities.
Besides, the capability overrides should apply only if we got EACCES from
acl_permission_check(); any other value (-EIO, etc.) should be returned
to caller, capabilities or not capabilities.

Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode. What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself. The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup. So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry. I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like this

Thats a savings of 1300 seconds, or 22 minutes. That is a significant savings.

Assume that /sys/kernel/debug/dummy64 is debugfs file created by
debugfs_create_x64().
# cd /sys/kernel/debug
# echo 0x1234567812345678 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0x0000000012345678
# echo 0x80000000 > dummy64
# cat dummy64
0xffffffff80000000
A value larger than INT_MAX cannot be written to the debugfs file created
by debugfs_create_u64 or debugfs_create_x64 on 32bit machine. Because
simple_attr_write() uses simple_strtol() for the conversion.
To fix this, use simple_strtoll() instead.

Don't update *inode in __follow_mount_rcu() until we'd verified that
there is mountpoint there. Kudos to Hugh Dickins for catching that
one in the first place and eventually figuring out the solution (and
catching a braino in the earlier version of patch).
