[PATCH v3 2/5] fs: Add fchmodat4()

From: Palmer Dabbelt <[email protected]>

On the userspace side fchmodat(3) is implemented as a wrapper
function which implements the POSIX-specified interface. This
interface differs from the underlying kernel system call, which does not
have a flags argument. Most implementations require procfs [1][2].

There doesn't appear to be a good userspace workaround for this issue
but the implementation in the kernel is pretty straight-forward.

The new fchmodat4() syscall allows to pass the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag,
unlike existing fchmodat.
