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.
