floppy: refactor open() flags handling
In case /dev/fdX is open with O_NDELAY / O_NONBLOCK, floppy_open() immediately succeeds, without performing any further media / controller preparations. That's "correct" wrt. the NODELAY flag, but is hardly correct wrt. the rest of the floppy driver, that is not really O_NONBLOCK ready, at all. Therefore it's not too surprising, that subsequent attempts to work with the filedescriptor produce bad results. Namely, syzkaller tool has been able to livelock mmap() on the returned fd to keep waiting on the page unlock bit forever. Quite frankly, I have trouble defining what non-blocking behavior would be for floppies. Is waiting ages for the driver to actually succeed reading a sector blocking operation? Is waiting for drive motor to start blocking operation? How about in case of virtualized floppies? One option would be returning EWOULDBLOCK in case O_NDLEAY / O_NONBLOCK is being passed to open(). That has a theoretical potential of breaking some arcane and archaic userspace though. Let's take a more conservative aproach, and accept the O_NDLEAY flag, and let the driver behave as usual. While at it, clean up a bit handling of !(mode & (FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE)) case and return EINVAL instead of succeeding as well. Spotted by syzkaller tool.
