From: "M. Mohan Kumar" <mohan@in.ibm.com>

In passthrough security model in local fs driver, after a file creation
chown and chmod are done to set the file credentials and mode as requested
by 9p client. But if there was a request to create a file with S_ISGID
bit, doing chown on that file resets the S_ISGID bit. So first call
chown and then invoking chmod with proper mode bit retains the S_ISGID
(if present/requested)

This resulted in LTP mknod02, mknod03, mknod05, open10 test case
failures. This patch fixes this issue.

man 2 chown
When the owner or group of an executable file are changed by an unprivileged
user the S_ISUID  and  S_ISGID mode  bits are cleared.  POSIX does not specify
whether this also should happen when root does the chown(); the Linux behavior
depends on the kernel version.
