And afaict, io_uring has the same problem in

static bool io_openat_force_async(struct io_open *open)
{
        /*
         * Don't bother trying for O_TRUNC, O_CREAT, or O_TMPFILE open,
         * it'll always -EAGAIN
         */
        return open->how.flags & (O_TRUNC | O_CREAT | O_TMPFILE);
}

always forcing O_DIRECTORY lookups to go async. So that needs another
fix.
