Commit 9f69dfc4e275 ("fuse2fs: implement O_APPEND correctly") defined a new flag, A_OK, to add support for testing whether the file is valid for append operations. This is relevant for the check_iflags_access() function, but when are later testing operations mask against the inode permissions, this new flag gets in the way and causes non-root users attempting to create new inodes in a directory to fail. Fix this by masking off A_OK before doing these tests.
