From: Andreas Gruenbacher <[email protected]>

Normally, deleting a file requires write and execute access to the parent
directory.  With Richacls, a process with MAY_DELETE_SELF access to a file may
delete the file even without write access to the parent directory.

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 does not override the sticky directory check.
It probably should.
