Instead of checking the mode of the file descriptor, let's check whether it
could have been opened rw. This allows fixing intermittent exec failures
when deduping a live system: anyone trying to exec a file currently being
deduped gets ETXTBSY.
Issuing this ioctl on a ro file was already allowed for root/cap.
Tested on btrfs and not-yet-merged xfs, as only them implement this ioctl.
