Use fs_umode_to_dtype() instead of direct bit shifting when
setting directory entry type.

Hi Adarsh,
The convertion result is wrong for jffs2_do_link.
The i_mode of old_dentry is 'S_IFIFO', the jffs2 gets type DT_FIFO(1)
and pass it to 'rd->type' by jffs2_do_link. However, after the patch
applied, jffs2 gets type FT_FIFO(5), which will confuse other 'rd->type'
accessing processes(eg. jffs2_scan_dirent_node[rd->type],
jffs2_build_filesystem[fd->type]).

Hi Zhihao,
Thank you for taking the time to review my patch!
I'm trying to understand the issue you've identified. I looked at the
fs_umode_to_dtype() implementation in fs/fs_types.c:
unsigned char fs_umode_to_dtype(umode_t mode) {
return fs_ftype_to_dtype(fs_umode_to_ftype(mode));
}
From what I can see, it seems like the function does produce FT_FIFO (5)
as an intermediate value, but then converts it back before returning.
Here's what I think happens for S_IFIFO (0010000):
Old bit-shift code:
type = (mode & S_IFMT) >> 12
= (0010000 & 00170000) >> 12
= 0010000 >> 12
= 1 (DT_FIFO)
New fs_umode_to_dtype() code:
Step 1: fs_umode_to_ftype(0010000)
= fs_ftype_by_dtype[S_DT(0010000)]
= fs_ftype_by_dtype[1]
= FT_FIFO = 5
Step 2: fs_ftype_to_dtype(5)
= fs_dtype_by_ftype[5]
= DT_FIFO = 1
I'm not sure how FT_FIFO (5) would remain after the function returns, since
it seems to get converted back to DT_FIFO (1) in step 2.
If there's an issue with this approach, I can edit my patch and keep changes in only jffs2_mknod.

Oh, that's fs_umode_to_dtype, sorry for the mistake, I saw it as
'fs_umode_to_ftype'.
