Add file mode flag FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE, so files which do not have the
flag set will have RWF_ATOMIC rejected and not just ignored.

Have you even tried to compile that on e.g. arm?

i386 and now arm32, and no grumblings.

I think that the issue is that we only ever do a bitwise OR or test that bit 33 for a 32b value, and it is a void operation and ignored.

However if I have file.f_mode = FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE and compile for arm32, then it complains.
