From: NeilBrown Instead of explicitly locking the parent and performing a lookup in selinux, use simple_start_creating(), and then use simple_done_creating() to unlock. This extends the region that the directory is locked for, and also performs a lookup. The lock extension is of no real consequence. The lookup uses simple_lookup() and so always succeeds. Thus when d_make_persistent() is called the dentry will already be hashed. d_make_persistent() handles this case.
