Subject: [PATCH] HFSPlus: simplify inode mode settting logic

From:	Wyatt Banks <wyatt@...ksresearch.com>

HFSPlus: Fix broken inode mode setting logic.  Fix broken umask mount option.

Signed-off-by:	Wyatt Banks <wyatt@...ksresearch.com>

Patched against 2.6.21.5

hfsplus_cat_read_inode() decides if the selected inode is a directory or not.
It then sets the 3rd parameter of hfsplus_get_perms() accordingly.  Inside
hfsplus_get_perms() it again decides based on its 3rd parameter if the inode
is a directory or not.  Besides this redundancy, mode is the BSD file type and mode
bits (see Apple TechNote 1150 for details) and is never 0.  This makes a large
portion of the branching logic unused.  What actually does happen in the branching
is that the UGO mode bits are combined with the directory or regular file bit after
the 2nd decision and this resultant mode is assigned to the inode.  This also loses
suid, sgid, sticky, pipe, fifo, etc.

This patch also fixes the umask mount option as a result.  I figured instead of
filing a bug report, I'd just go ahead and fix it. :-)
