Subject: [git pull] LOOKUP_DIRECTORY fix

	Restore LOOKUP_DIRECTORY handling in case of open() with
O_DIRECTORY.  While filesystems shouldn't have require O_DIRECTORY
for directory lookup to succeed, they have legitimate case for
knowing that flag had been there - it's a useful hint.

	git breakage on NFSv4 in -rc1/-rc2 should be fixed by that.
Please, pull from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git/ for-linus

Shortlog:
Al Viro (1):
      Restore LOOKUP_DIRECTORY hint handling in final lookup on open()
