They have to, because they already get the additional open for
extra opens of the whole device. The current behavior is:

open("/dev/vdb", ...)
->open called

open("/dev/vdb", ...)
->open called

----

open("/dev/vdb", ...)
->open called

open("/dev/vdb1", ...)
->open called

----

open("/dev/vdb1", ...)
->open called

open("/dev/vdb1", ...)
->open NOT called

which is very inconsistent.
