5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx> commit b6650dab404c701d7fe08a108b746542a934da84 upstream. In case the file cannot be opened with O_NOATIME because of lack of capabilities, then clear O_NOATIME instead of failing. Remove WARN_ON(), since it would now trigger if O_NOATIME was cleared. Noticed by Amir Goldstein.
