There is a disconnect between changelog and code. The code tries to be
generic while the changelog is as specific to SNC as possible. This makes
it hard to go from changelog (ignoring that changelog does not follow x86
customs to begin with) to patch.

This continues to look suspect to me. When I took a closer look during previous
version I thought this information can only be accessed via inode. Seeing this
code again made me look more closely and it seems there is no problem to just
query how many subdirectories a directory has. See for example, kobject_has_children().
Doing something like that seems more intuitive than this quirky way to set and
use a flag.

kernfs_find_and_get()?
