This looks like a serious bug, as it is overriding other errors returned
from inode_permission() such as -EROFS from sb_permission() or even from
generic_permission->acl_permission_check().  Clearing the error returned
by an earlier check doesn't seem safe, only new errors should be added.

The call to inode_permission(inode) is also duplicating the sb_permission()
check from inode_permission(dir), so at most should be __inode_permission().

It looks like this would be correct if you check MAY_DELETE_SELF together
with check_sticky():

	if (!error && check_sticky(dir, inode) &&
	    !__inode_permission(inode, MAY_DELETE_SELF))
		error = -EPERM;

I ommitted the IS_RICHACL() check here, since that should probably be in
__inode_permission() when MAY_DELETE_SELF is passed?

Cheers, Andreas
