Subject: [PATCH 5/5] vfs: define new lookup flag for chdir

In the "operation does permission checking" model used by fuse, chdir
permission is not checked, since there's no chdir method.

For this case set a lookup flag, which will be passed to
->permission(), so fuse can distinguish it from permission checks for
other operations.
