Subject: Add a new fchmodat4() syscall, v2
This patch set adds fchmodat4(), a new syscall. The actual
implementation is super simple: essentially it's just the same as
fchmodat(), but LOOKUP_FOLLOW is conditionally set based on the flags.
I've attempted to make this match "man 2 fchmodat" as closely as
possible, which says EINVAL is returned for invalid flags (as opposed to
ENOTSUPP, which is currently returned by glibc for AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW).
I have a sketch of a glibc patch that I haven't even compiled yet, but
seems fairly straight-forward:

I've never added a new syscall before so I'm not really sure what the
proper procedure to follow is. Based on the feedback from my v1 patch
set it seems this is somewhat uncontroversial. At this point I don't
think there's anything I'm missing, though note that I haven't gotten
around to testing it this time because the diff from v1 is trivial for
any platform I could reasonably test on. The v1 patches suggest a
simple test case, but I didn't re-run it because I don't want to reboot
my laptop.
$ touch test-file
$ ln -s test-file test-link
$ cat > test.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
long out;
out = syscall(434, AT_FDCWD, "test-file", 0x888, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW);
printf("fchmodat4(AT_FDCWD, \"test-file\", 0x888, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW): %ld\n", out);

I've only built this on 64-bit x86.
Changes since v1 [20190531191204.4044-1-palmer@...ive.com]:
* All architectures are now supported, which support squashed into a
single patch.
* The do_fchmodat() helper function has been removed, in favor of directly
calling do_fchmodat4().
* The patches are based on 5.2 instead of 5.1.
