Why?  The file descriptor was already checked for write permission above:

       if (!(file_in->f_mode & FMODE_READ) ||
            !(file_out->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE) ||
            (file_out->f_flags & O_APPEND))
                return -EBADF;

Yes, that doesn't detect removing write permission from the *inode*, but write()
doesn't either.
