Subject: For the condition "file->f_mode", when it failed, it should return EACCES rather than EBADF.

Hi all,
	When I wanted to do discard operations,but i set the  openflag was O_RDONLY,it returned a EBADF rather than EACCES or EPERM.
I searched the code and found:
>case BLKDISCARD:
>case BLKSECDISCARD: {
>		uint64_t range[2];

>		if (!(mode & FMODE_WRITE))
>			return -EBADF;
Initial i thought there was error.But i searched all code of kernel and found some places like this.

The description of EBADF is "Bad file numbe". There are some places where returned EBADF like,
>if (!f.file)
>		return -EBADF;

So i think for checking file->f_mode when failed, it should return EACCESS.
