From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> Userspace can pass weird create mode in open(2) that we canonicalize to "(mode & S_IALLUGO) | S_IFREG" in vfs_create(). The problem is that we use the uncanonicalized mode before calling vfs_create() with unforseen consequences. So do the canonicalization early in build_open_flags().
