If that O_FANCY was added to VALID_OPEN_FLAGS, then this test would fail
to fail since the check in build_open_flags() would have no problem with
it.

It appears to be testing for unknown flags regardless of where they are
in the 64 bits, since the incoming flags are tested against
VALID_OPEN_FLAGS.

I think we need two tests:

1) test for unknown flags
2) test for flags that will get dropped in build_open_flags() by the
assignment from (u64) how->flags to (int) op->open_flag.

This second test could be a BUILD_* test.
