Requiring a read-write descriptor conflicts both ways with exec,
returning ETXTBSY whenever you try to defrag a program that's currently
being run, or causing intermittent exec failures on a live system being
defragged.
As defrag doesn't change the file's contents in any way, there's no
reason to consider it a rw operation. Thus, let's check only whether
the file could have been opened rw. Such access control is still needed
as currently defrag can use extra disk space, and might trigger bugs.
We return EINVAL when the request is invalid; here it's ok but merely
the user has insufficient privileges. Thus, the EPERM return value
reflects the error better -- as discussed in the identical case for
dedupe.
According to codesearch.debian.net, no userspace program distinguishes
these values beyond strerror().
