access(2) regressions in current mainline

[Christoph Hellwig]

Since the merge of the current git tree into the xfs tree I see a
regression in XFSQA 088:

088	 - output mismatch (see 088.out.bad)

Given that XFS uses bog-standard generic_permission and the creds merge
just happened I'd look for the cause there.  The source for the xfs
testcase is here:
