Point... I'd rather use EINVAL, though. FWIW, we might want to add
openat2() at some later point, with proper validation of arguments; I really
don't want to think of the kludges we'll need the next time we add an
open flag...
Safer ABI for O_TMPFILE
[suggested by Rasmus Villemoes] make O_DIRECTORY | O_RDWR part of O_TMPFILE;
that will fail on old kernels in a lot more cases than what I came up with.
And make sure O_CREAT doesn't get there...
