A minor, uninvasive change to the vfs will help support external builds of more
recent FUSE code.  Since Bug 193720: Enable FUSE probably won't make 5.1, this
vfs change would at least make it easier for anyone who wants to use/test fuse
with RHEL5.  (there is another non-critical fuse-related vfs change, "fs
subtypes" which would also be nice, but is more invasive & a KABI breaker, so
that one is left out)

Patch as sent to rhkernel-list on 6/6/07:

For Bug 193720: Enable FUSE

This is a very minor change to the vfs for upstream fuse, 
and should not affect anyone else.

[PATCH] vfs: define new lookup flag for chdir

In the "operation does permission checking" model used by fuse, chdir
permission is not checked, since there's no chdir method.

For this case set a lookup flag, which will be passed to ->permission(), so
fuse can distinguish it from permission checks for other operations.
