I thinks they are orthogonal problems -- this patch watches for the
possible conflicting O_* in so many archs.

Anyway here is the new version without the FMODE_ and O_RANDOM.

fs: O_* bit numbers uniqueness check

The O_* bit numbers are defined in 20+ arch/*, and hence can silently
overlap. Add a boot time check to ensure the uniqueness as suggested
by David Miller.

v4: use the nice hweight_long() as suggested by Jamie
    split O_SYNC to (__O_SYNC | O_DSYNC) as suggested by Andreas
    take away FMODE_* and O_RANDOM
v3: change to BUILD_BUG_ON() as suggested by Roland
