I think Andrew Morton, but only one of my patches for hfsplus has been
picked up so far, so I can't tell you for sure.

Al Viro wasn't happy with this patchset and thought it was better to let
->put_super() handle the cleanup. I made a second version but I don't
think he had the time to look at it yet.
