Yes, using journal_current_handle() is possible, didn't realize it earlier.

Whiteout doesn't have any attributes and hence we are not explicitly
doing init_special_inode() on this. Accesses to whiteout files are trapped
at the VFS lookup itself and creation and deletion of whiteouts are handled
automatically by VFS. So I believe init_special_inode() isn't necessary
on a whiteout file.

Bharata.
