This patch adds 3 flags:
1) O_DENYREAD that doesn't permit read access
2) O_DENYWRITE that doesn't permit write access
3) O_DENYDELETE that doesn't permit delete or rename
Network filesystems CIFS, SMB2.0, SMB3.0 and NFSv4 have such flags -
this change can benefit cifs and nfs modules. While this change is ok
for network filesystems, itsn't not targeted for local filesystems due
to security problems (e.g. when a user process can deny root to delete
a file).
