afs: Ignore AFS_ACE_READ and AFS_ACE_WRITE for directories The AFS_ACE_READ and AFS_ACE_WRITE permission bits should not be used to make access decisions for the directory itself. They are meant to control access for the objects contained in that directory. Reading a directory is allowed if the AFS_ACE_LOOKUP bit is set. This would cause an incorrect access denied error for a directory with AFS_ACE_LOOKUP but not AFS_ACE_READ. The AFS_ACE_WRITE bit does not allow operations that modify the directory. For a directory with AFS_ACE_WRITE but neither AFS_ACE_INSERT nor AFS_ACE_DELETE, this would result in trying operations that would ultimately be denied by the server.
