 deletion of the body of the object is performed by iput(), with the
 result that if multiple processes are operating on a file, the
 deletion of the body of the file is deferred until the last process
 that has an open inode performs its iput().

 writes and truncates are protected from collisions by use of
 semaphores.

 creates, linking, and mknod are protected from collisions with other
 processes by making the reiserfs_add_entry() the last step in the
 creation, and then rolling back all changes if there was a collision.
