Yeah, thought about that briefly but we don't necessarily track mutex
or other synchronization construct owners, things get gnarly with
rwsems (the inode ones sometimes end up in a similar situation), and
we'll probably end up dealing with some surprising propagations down
the line.  That said, getting such automatic propagation working would
be great.

Thanks.
