    Unionfs: copyup only if file is being written to
    
    Before, we used to copyup on an open(2) call which used flags implying
    writing (O_RDWR, O_WRONLY, O_APPEND).  This meant that a file being opened
    for writing, then immediately closed (without actually writing to the file),
    will still have been copied up.  Now, we don't copyup such files in ->open,
    but defer the copyup till later. [Bug #591].
