may_create() expects directory + child dentry; here we have only parent.
IS_DEADDIR is rather pointless here - directory is not locked, for
starters, so rmdir might happen right under you. Or right after you've
returned from your function, for that matter. userns checks...
FWIW, no such checks are done in ->atomic_open() paths, so I'm not sure
how much are those worth...
