Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix two regressions from start_creating()/start_removing() conversion

When running the eCryptfs test suite on v6.19-rc2, I noticed BUG splats
from every test and that the umount utility was segfaulting when tearing
down after a test. Bisection led me to commit f046fbb4d81d ("ecryptfs:
use new start_creating/start_removing APIs").

This patch series addresses that regression and also a mknod problem
spotted during code review.
