Please don't do this.  The only reason reiser4 needs that is because
their broken internal plugin scheme that can't distinguish ->rmdir and
->unlink forces them to reimplement the generic code inside the fs driver.

It's not the kind of functions we want exported.


Similarly inode_lock is nothing that should be exported to drivers, it's
too much of an internal that can change - and something drivers can really
badly screw up on.
