[PATCH] vfs: Add MAY_DELETE_SELF and MAY_DELETE_CHILD permission flags

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

[This replaces v7 of this patch; MAY_DELETE_SELF now properly overrides the
sticky check.]

Normally, deleting a file requires MAY_WRITE access to the parent
directory.  With richacls, a file may be deleted with MAY_DELETE_CHILD access
to the parent directory or with MAY_DELETE_SELF access to the file.

To support that, pass the MAY_DELETE_CHILD mask flag to inode_permission()
when checking for delete access inside a directory, and MAY_DELETE_SELF
when checking for delete access to a file itelf.

The MAY_DELETE_SELF permission overrides the sticky directory check.
