man 3p says that fchmodat() takes a flags argument, but the Linux
syscall does not.  There doesn't appear to be a good userspace
workaround for this issue but the implementation in the kernel is pretty
straight-forward.  The specific use case where the missing flags came up
was WRT a fuse filesystem implemenation, but the functionality is pretty
generic so I'm assuming there would be other use cases.

There is only one external caller of do_fchmodat(), so just change that
to pass the extra argument here, and keep a single do_fchmodat()
function used by the sys_fchmod(), sys_fchmod4(), sys_chmod()
and ksys_chmod().

OK, I'll roll that up into a v2.
