Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix mode setting in copyfile_mode_ns()

slow_copyfile() opens the file by name, so "write" permissions must not
be removed in copyfile_mode_ns() before calling slow_copyfile().

Example:

 Before:
  $ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore
  $ sudo setcap "cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_sys_rawio=ep" tools/perf/perf
  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -k /proc/kcore
  Couldn't add /proc/kcore

 After:
  $ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore
  $ sudo setcap "cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_sys_rawio=ep" tools/perf/perf
  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore
  kcore added to build-id cache directory /home/ahunter/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/37e340b1b5a7cf4f57ba8de2bc777359588a957f/2019100709562289
