Uh... how do you know at this point that the file is actually writable?
Normally, e.g. vfs_write() will ensure that the file is writable, and
e.g. generic_file_write_iter() won't check for writability as far as I
can tell. This might allow someone to use the passthrough mechanism to
overwrite a file he is only allowed to read, but not write, like
/etc/passwd.

Also, I think this might bypass mandatory locks, the
security_file_permission hook (which seems like a bad idea anyway
though), inotify/fsnotify and sb_start_write.
