The cited patch pair isn't in linux-next-20140409, but applied with a few
1-line offsets.  Boothing the result was much better.  'git blame' doesn't
indicate anything changed between next-0303 (busted) and next-0409, so
I have to conclude that Madper Xie's patch is an improvement.

Madper:  Feel free to stick this on the patch:

The gory details:

I now have different filenames and inodes, with different contents, rather than
duplicates:

And 'rm *' actually removed all 536 remaining entries and they stayed removed.
