Linux: 2.6.38: Adjust for permission inode operation changes

The permission i_op has a new signature with a flags argument, and
must now deal with RCU path walking.
- Fix existing configure test for this i_op, it succeeds when it
shouldn't
- Add a new configure test for the new signature
- Make our permission i_op "RCU-walk aware" - return ECHILD if
called in that mode
