[PATCH 1/2] Implement fchmodat4 syscall

From: William Orr
Date: Sun May 10 2015 - 22:14:28 EST


Adds fchmodat4 which more closely matches POSIX by taking 4 arguments,
including the flags argument. flags are the same as fchownat(2), implementing
both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH

Based heavily off of Andrew Ayer's patch from 2012.
