[PATCH] Add lookup_instantiate_filp usage warning

I think it would be nice to put an usage warning in header of
lookup_instantiate_filp() to indicate it is unsafe to use it on anything
but regular files (even that is potentially unsafe, but there your ->open()
is usually in your hands anyway), so that others won't fall into the same
trap I did.
