Use access mode instead of open flags to determine needed permissions
Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a1554dc5b2598038b3fe8703defcbe467, aka
"VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent"
to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original
flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry
lookup to the low-level filesystem.
However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of
namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for
directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag. So fix those
test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag
("flag").
