Subject: smackfs load append mode fix
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc3~5

smackfs load append mode fix

Given just how hard it is to find the code that uses MAY_APPEND
it's probably not a big surprise that this went unnoticed for so
long. The Smack rules loading code is incorrectly setting the
MAY_READ bit when MAY_APPEND is requested.
