Subject: [PATCH -V4 11/11] vfs: Add permission flags for setting file attributes

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@...e.de>

Some permission models can allow processes to take ownership of a file,
change the file permissions, and set the file timestamps.  Introduce new
permission mask flags and check for those permissions in
inode_change_ok().
