[PATCH] fs: clear file set[ug]id when writing via mmap

[Kees Cook]

Normally, when a user can modify a file that has setuid or setgid bits,
those bits are cleared when they are not the file owner or a member of the
group. This is enforced when using write() directly but not when writing
to a shared mmap on the file. This could allow the file writer to gain
privileges by changing the binary without losing the setuid/setgid bits.
