Eww, really WARN_ON? ENXIO should be enough.
(FWIW, spello fix -> "Attempted to open a whiteout")

One line.

I doubt it will make a difference - "unsigned char c";

I think this cast can go.

DT_WHT is always available, is not it? In that case, would not it
be simpler to get rid of the #if/#endif.

These could just be
  #define something  0
