Doing faccessat("/afs/some/directory", 0) triggers a BUG in the permissions
check code.
Fix this by just removing the BUG section. If no permissions are asked
for, just return okay if the file exists.
Also:
(1) Split up the directory check so that it has separate if-statements
rather than if-else-if (e.g. checking for MAY_EXEC shouldn't skip the
check for MAY_READ and MAY_WRITE).
(2) Check for MAY_CHDIR as MAY_EXEC.
Without the main fix, the following BUG may occur:
kernel BUG at fs/afs/security.c:386!

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
