Subject: [PATCH 08/25] elevate writer count for chown and friends


chown/chmod,etc... don't call permission in the same way
that the normal "open for write" calls do.  They still
write to the filesystem, so bump the write count during
these operations.

This conflicts with the current (~2.6.23-rc7) audit 
git tree in -mm.  wiggle'ing the patch merges it.
