Here's the one VFS patch in the series - could we at least get an ack
for this? It's a new helper, just breaks the existing d_tmpfile() up
into two functions - I hope we can at least agree that this patch
shouldn't be controversial?

Subject: [PATCH] fs: factor out d_mark_tmpfile()

New helper for bcachefs - bcachefs doesn't want the
inode_dec_link_count() call that d_tmpfile does, it handles i_nlink on
its own atomically with other btree updates
