Subject: Re: [PATCH 08/35] cifs: Improve SMB2+ stat() to work also for paths
 in DELETE_PENDING state

As long as we don't break any Linux apps - we need to return file not
found or equivalent when a file is in delete pending in every path
that we can (if we have some places that incorrectly show the file,
the better solution is to hide it there, not to break more Linux apps
by showing a file which has been deleted/silly-renamed
