[PATCH 4/4] fs: Include FMODE_EXEC when converting flags to f_mode

Include FMODE_EXEC when building the f_mode field, so that code can
actually test the correct field and values. Only three places actually
examine f_flags for FMODE_EXEC:

fs/open.c:      if (unlikely((f->f_mode & FMODE_EXEC) && !S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))) {
include/linux/fsnotify.h:               if (file->f_mode & FMODE_EXEC) {
include/linux/fsnotify.h:       if (file->f_mode & FMODE_EXEC)

I assume there must be some reason for FMODE_EXEC not being pulled into
f_mode, but I couldn't find it. I guess this is my attempt to either fix
an oversight or to learn by flames. :)
