Subject: [PATCH] fix execute checking in permission()

permission() checks that MAY_EXEC is only allowed on regular files if at least
one execute bit is set in the file mode.

generic_permission() already ensures this, so the extra check in permission()
is superfluous.

If the filesystem defines it's own ->permission() the check may still be
needed.  In this case move it after ->permission().  This is needed because
filesystems such as FUSE may need to refresh the inode attributes before
checking permissions.

This check should be moved inside ->permission(), but that's another story.
