xfs: prevent swapext from operating on write-only files

This patch prevents user "foo" from using the SWAPEXT ioctl to swap
a write-only file owned by user "bar" into a file owned by "foo" and
subsequently reading it.  It does so by checking that the file
descriptors passed to the ioctl are also opened for reading.
