Commit 1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073 added the utimensat()
system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability
of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a
filename.

We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to
simply check whether the file descriptor is writable.  The oops from
using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus
Trippelsdorf.
