[PATCH 1/3] Cygwin: device_access_denied: return false if O_PATH is set

[Ken Brown]

If O_PATH is set in the flags argument of
fhandler_base::device_access_denied, return false.  No
read/write/execute access should be required in this case.

Previously, the call to device_access_denied in open(2) would lead to
an attempt to open the file with read access even if the O_PATH flag
was set.
