[PATCH] btrfs: send: Ensure send_fd is writable

[PATCH] btrfs: send: Ensure send_fd is writable

[Jann Horn]

kernel_write() requires the caller to ensure that the file is writable.
Let's do that directly after looking up the ->send_fd.

(We don't need a separate bailout path because the "out" path already
does fput() if ->send_filp is non-NULL.)

This has no security impact for two reasons:

 - the ioctl requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN
 - __kernel_write() bails out on read-only files - but only since 5.8,
   see commit a01ac27be472 ("fs: check FMODE_WRITE in __kernel_write")
