Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] ima: Set file->f_mode instead of file->f_flags in ima_calc_file_hash()

Commit a408e4a86b36 ("ima: open a new file instance if no read
permissions") tries to create a new file descriptor to calculate a file
digest if the file has not been opened with O_RDONLY flag. However, if a
new file descriptor cannot be obtained, it sets the FMODE_READ flag to
file->f_flags instead of file->f_mode.

This patch fixes this issue by replacing f_flags with f_mode as it was
before that commit.

Changelog

v1:
- fix comment for f_mode change (suggested by Mimi)
- rename modified_flags variable to modified_mode (suggested by Mimi)

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # 4.20.x
Fixes: a408e4a86b36 ("ima: open a new file instance if no read permissions")
