Didn't some other patch introduce vfs_whiteout? So why have a second patch
which makes vfs_whiteout a static? Why not introduce both vfs_whiteout and
path_whiteout in one patch?

Please document the behavior of path_whiteout in a proper comment above ii
(kernel-doc). Describe return values, side effects, etc.

Also, isdir in both vfs_whiteout and path_whiteout can be boolean.
