But they _are_ in the same namespace as the VFS ones.  This needs to be
sorted out by real by understanding what's going on here and either
separating this flags out and passing them in a separate argument, or
moving them to include/linux/fs.h so it's obvious for anyone adding new
flags that they must not collide.  In that later case it might make
sense to add add a NFSD in the name, although MAY_NFSD_* makes more
sense to keep a unique prefix.
