Yes just "." will be used. and infact i've copied that chunk from
chown_f, and similar approach is used for att_remove_f, attr_set_f
and setxattr_f operations. And in fact i'm not quite agree that they
are not independent, the only point they are connected is parent dir,
which IMHO acceptable in this case because operations result in inode
metadata changes only, w/o changing parent dir.
