Subject: [PATCH 2/3] VFS: allow MAY_ flags to be easily extended.

NFSD uses permission flags similar to the MAY_* flags,
with some overlap, and depends on the overlap matching.
This is currently a little fragile and hard to extend.

So add __MAY_UNUSED to identify the first unused flag,
and have NFSD use that flag and later flags for its
non-standard permissions.
