FMODE_CAN_READ was not set because f_mode does not have
FMODE_READ. In the patch, I check if the former can be set
similarly to the way it is done in file_table.c and open.c.

Is there a better way to read a file when the file was not opened
for reading and a new file descriptor cannot be created?

Thanks
