I doubt you need saved_errno in the code immediately after this
patch gets applied, as what you are saving is guaranteed to be
ENOTDIR so you can just restore it before you fall through out of
the block.
It however would not hurt, though. Especially if the condition that
guarding this block is likely to change in the future, we can view
the apparent waste as paying insurance premium to protect from
future breakages.
Will queue. Thanks.
