The fdput()s are in the wrong order.  fdget(f_in) is first at the beginning, so
fdput(f_in) needs to be last at the end.

This allows the same superblock but different mounts --- is that intentional?
The commit message says otherwise: it says the vfs entry point requires the same
superblock and mount.


Was there a decision made on FMODE_PREAD and FMODE_PWRITE?  To me it seems
logical that the if the user explicitly specifies an offset, then the
corresponding mode should be checked.  That would check whether the file is
seekable or not, I believe.  Note that e.g. sys_sendfile() does the same thing.
