From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

If updating file times to the current time and using a file
descriptor, then don't check for immutable inode, only if the file is
opened for write.  In this case immutability has been checked at open
time.  This is the same as how write() and ftruncate() are handled.
