Aah! I modeled it after what fd_is_mount_point() currently uses, where
the fd really *is* the fd to the actual file, *not* to the directory.
But I understand now that you want to change that, and what you mean
by "make it work like openat()".

Right, all clear now. The only consumer of this is rm_rf(), it's
simple enough to adjust to passing file name and parent dir fd instead
of file fd.

Yes, that will make the whole thing a lot cleaner.
