If we open a file without read access and then pass the fd to a syscall
whose implementation calls kernel_read_file_from_fd(), we get a warning
from __kernel_read():

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ)))

This currently affects both finit_module() and kexec_file_load(), but it
could affect other syscalls in the future.
