After introducing pre-content events, we had a regression related to
disabling huge faults on files that should never have pre-content events
enabled.
This happened because the default f_mode of allocated files (0) does
not disable pre-content events.
Pre-content events are disabled in file_set_fsnotify_mode_by_watchers()
but internal files may not get to call this helper.
Initialize f_mode to disable permission and pre-content events for all
files and if needed they will be enabled for the callers of
file_set_fsnotify_mode_by_watchers().
Fixes: 20bf82a898 ("mm: don't allow huge faults for files with pre content watches")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
