Commit 09954bad4 ("floppy: refactor open() flags handling"), as a side-effect, causes open(/dev/fdX, O_ACCMODE) to fail. It turns out that this is being used setfdprm userspace for ioctl-only open(). Reintroduce back the original behavior wrt !(FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE) modes, while still keeping the original O_NDELAY bug fixed.
