Subject: [PATCH -V5 02/24] vfs: Pass all mask flags down to iop->check_acl

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

Some file permission models differentiate between writing to a file
(MAY_WRITE) and appending to it (MAY_WRITE | MAY_APPEND).  Pass all the
mask flags down to iop->check_acl so that filesystems can distinguish
between writing and appending.

All users of iop->check_acl pass the mask value back into
posix_acl_permission(); strip off the additional mask flags there.
