Subject: [PATCH v1] fs: Fix inconsistent f_mode

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@...ux.microsoft.com>

While transitionning to ACC_MODE() with commit 5300990c0370 ("Sanitize
f_flags helpers") and then fixing it with commit 6d125529c6cb ("Fix
ACC_MODE() for real"), we lost an open flags consistency check.  Opening
a file with O_WRONLY | O_RDWR leads to an f_flags containing MAY_READ |
MAY_WRITE (thanks to the ACC_MODE() helper) and an empty f_mode.
Indeed, the OPEN_FMODE() helper transforms 3 (an incorrect value) to 0.

Fortunately, vfs_read() and vfs_write() both check for FMODE_READ, or
respectively FMODE_WRITE, and return an EBADF error if it is absent.
Before commit 5300990c0370 ("Sanitize f_flags helpers"), opening a file
with O_WRONLY | O_RDWR returned an EINVAL error.  Let's restore this safe
behavior.

To make it consistent with ACC_MODE(), this patch also changes
OPEN_FMODE() to return FMODE_READ | FMODE_WRITE for O_WRONLY | O_RDWR.
This may help protect from potential spurious issues.

This issue could result in inconsistencies with AppArmor, Landlock and
SELinux, but the VFS checks would still forbid read and write accesses.
Tomoyo uses the ACC_MODE() transformation which is correct, and Smack
doesn't check the file mode.  Filesystems using OPEN_FMODE() should also
be protected by the VFS checks.
