I've picked this up to get it into -next. I've folded the following fix
for the missing { into [4/6].

Applied to the vfs.rename.locking branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs.rename.locking branch should appear in linux-next soon.
Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.
It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the
patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated.
