This commit breaks r/w access to files. Since fixing it requires many
commits to be backported revert it to avoid risk of regressions.
For detailed description please look at LP #1851243.

This reverts commit c8838e8eb196496e55cf40eed602a906b36ef1cc.

Since this was found to introduce a regression this sounds appropriate to do.
But since this was part of an upstream stable set I would suggest this also is
brought up with gregkh (so he is at least aware).

For now I would prefix the commit with "UBUNTU: SAUCE:" as it is specific to our
tree (can be done when applying without need for re-submitting).

Finally, for changes targeted for the main kernel, there is no need to ask for
any of the derivatives/backports separately. As those are rebased, any updates
automatically land there once applied to the main kernel. Only of something is
needed in a derivative/backport only, this has to be requested.
