One more thing too. I don't think we really want to monkey with the mode
at all if there is a request to set the mode already in the request. So
maybe this should be:

    if (!fc->handle_killpriv && !(attr->ia_mode & ATTR_MODE))

Granted that won't generally happen from normal process context, but we
could have knfsd in here too and I think that's possible from there.

Looks good otherwise!
