Really, where?  That just sounds f**cked up as callers using any kind
of nofail API can be broken by a caller higher in the stack.

And that's totally independ of adding a NOFS/NOIO helper, so it'll need
to be fixed.

Adding more NOFS/NOIO wrappers while we're trying to kill the flag just
is not helpful going forward.
