Subject: [PATCH -V4 09/11] vfs: Add delete child and delete self permission flags

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

Normally, deleting a file requires write access to the parent directory.
Some permission models use a different permission on the parent
directory to indicate delete access.  In addition, a process can have
per-file delete access even without delete access on the parent
directory.

Introduce two new inode_permission() mask flags and use them in
may_delete()
