Similar to the problem with dbg_lvl fixed in commit
66dca9b8c50b5e59d3bea8b21cee5c6dae6c9c46 last year.
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/megaraid_sas/poll_mode_io defaults to being
world-writable, which seems bad (letting any user affect kernel driver
behavior).
This turns off group and user write permissions, so that on typical
production systems only root can write to it.
