Since ntfs_read_mft() not only accepts file modes which may_open() accepts but also accepts (fname && fname->home.low == cpu_to_le32(MFT_REC_EXTEND) && fname->home.seq == cpu_to_le16(MFT_REC_EXTEND) case when the file mode is none of S_IFDIR/S_IFLNK/S_IFREG/S_IFCHR/S_IFBLK/S_IFIFO/S_IFSOCK, may_open() cannot unconditionally expect IS_ANON_FILE(inode) when the file mode is none of S_IFDIR/S_IFLNK/S_IFREG/S_IFCHR/S_IFBLK/S_IFIFO/S_IFSOCK. Treat as if S_IFREG when the inode is for NTFS3 filesystem.
