Subject: [PATCH 4.10 010/110] staging: android: ashmem: lseek failed due to no FMODE_LSEEK.

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shuxiao Zhang <zhangshuxiao@...omi.com>

commit 97fbfef6bd597888485b653175fb846c6998b60c upstream.

vfs_llseek will check whether the file mode has
FMODE_LSEEK, no return failure. But ashmem can be
lseek, so add FMODE_LSEEK to ashmem file.

Comment From Greg Hackmann:
	ashmem_llseek() passes the llseek() call through to the backing
	shmem file.  91360b02ab48 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()") changed
	this from directly calling the file's llseek() op into a VFS
	layer call.  This also adds a check for the FMODE_LSEEK bit, so
	without that bit ashmem_llseek() now always fails with -ESPIPE.

Fixes: 91360b02ab48 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()")
