Due to RMW, we always need read permissions on the backing file. This is a
problem if the file permissions do not allow reading (i.e. 0200 permissions).
This patch works around that problem by chmod'ing the file, obtaining a fd,
and chmod'ing it back.
Test included.
Issue reported at: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/125
This test reproduces the problem xfstests generic/124 uncovered.
The warning itself is harmless, but we should either (1) add locking
so that this cannot happen anymore or (2) drop the warning.
Currently fails:
$ go test -v

--- PASS: Test1980Tar (0.00s)

--- PASS: TestCtlSock (0.10s)

cipherSize 18 == header size: interrupted write?
-wpanic turns this warning into a panic: cipherSize 18 == header size: interrupted write?
We do not have to track the writeOnly status because the kernel
will not forward read requests on a write-only FD to us anyway.
I have verified this behavoir manually on a 4.10.8 kernel and also
added a testcase.
Test that we get the right timestamp when extracting a tarball.
Also simplify the workaround in doTestUtimesNano() and fix the
fact that it was running no test at all.
