[018/119] sound: rawmidi: fix checking of O_APPEND when opening MIDI device

From: Greg KH

2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 16fb109644b5644e42ececeff644514de6f4bd03 upstream.

Commit 9a1b64caac82aa02cb74587ffc798e6f42c6170a in 2.6.30 dropped the
check that a substream must already have been opened with O_APPEND to be
able to open it a second time.

This would make it possible for a substream to be switched to append
mode, which would mean that non-atomic writes would fail unexpectedly.
