[GFS2] don't call permission()

GFS2 calls permission() to verify permissions after locks on the files
have been taken.

For this it's sufficient to call gfs2_permission() instead.  This
results in the following changes:

  - IS_RDONLY() check is not performed
  - IS_IMMUTABLE() check is not performed
  - devcgroup_inode_permission() is not called
  - security_inode_permission() is not called

IS_RDONLY() should be unnecessary anyway, as the per-mount read-only
flag should provide protection against read-only remounts during
operations.  do_gfs2_set_flags() has been fixed to perform
mnt_want_write()/mnt_drop_write() to protect against remounting
read-only.

IS_IMMUTABLE has been added to gfs2_permission()

Repeating the security checks seems to be pointless, as they don't
normally change, and if they do, it's independent of the filesystem
state.
