Ha! See I was thinking of something more along the lines of the below.

Which is completely untested and incomplete, but does illustrate the
point.

Also, I think fsnotify_unmount_inodes() (as per mainline) is missing a
final iput(need_iput) at the very end, but I could be mistaken, that
code hurts my brain.
