Re: [RFC PATCH] c/r: fixed false complaint on "unlinked" pipes, socket, etc

[Oren Laadan <orenl-eQaUEPhvms7ENvBUuze7eA@public.gmane.org>]

Heh ... following the discussion on the IRC, I actually prefer
a solution that will push tests that are not filesystm-agnostic
to the filesystem-specific .checkpoint method.  Then also put
it in the generic .checkpoint method to catch the "default" case.

I think it's cleaner and does not introduce needless noise in
the kernel.

FWIW, not only for the d_unlinked() test, but also for the locks
issue;  even though locks are supposed to be VFS generic and not
depend on specific filesystem, apparently they do. (Either that
or fix find_locks_with_owner() in a generic way).
