Dropping the S_ISREG() check here without an explanation is wrong and
probably unsafe, as it is only re-added in the subsequent patch and
only for the "sysctl_interpreted_access" case.  Adding this new test
after the existing test is probably safer.  If the original test fails,
it returns the same value as this test -EACCES.
