usb: require FMODE_WRITE for usbdev_mmap()

Commit Message

usbdev_mmap() creates VMAs which can only be used through
usbdev_do_ioctl(), which requires FMODE_WRITE; so usbdev_mmap() is only
useful with FMODE_WRITE.

On typical Linux systems, files at /dev/bus/usb/*/* are mode 0664, so
UIDs without any special privileges can't use usbdev_do_ioctl(), but
they can still execute the usbdev_mmap() codepath.

Check for FMODE_WRITE in usbdev_mmap() to reduce attack surface a little
bit.
