This patch allows clients like DMF to modify an immutable file

This patch is restricted to holders of the CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE,

Why the conversion from fmode to permflag? At minimum, this will
probably throw sparse warnings for comparing a FMODE_* flag against
a variable that is not a fmode_t....

Yes, my mistake - a case of posting a Linux 3.0.X based patch.
