The earlier patch has a misplaced comma and won't build. This one
builds. This should be considered an RFC, as I've not yet done any
real testing of this patch:

VFS: move ATTR_KILL handling from notify_change into helper function
Separate the handling of the local ia_valid bitmask from the one in
attr->ia_valid. This allows us to hand off the actual handling of the
ATTR_KILL_* flags to the .setattr i_op when one is defined.
notify_change still needs to process those flags for the local ia_valid
variable, since it uses that to decide whether to return early, and to pass
a (hopefully) appropriate bitmask to fsnotify_change.
Also, check the ia_valid after the setattr op returns and see if either
ATTR_KILL_* bit is set. If so, then throw a warning and try to clear the
bits in the "standard" way. This should help us to catch filesystems that
don't handle these bits correctly without breaking them outright.
