  To: linux-kernel; +Cc: Al Viro, Jan Kara, linux-ext4, stable

Using the exported linux/ext2_fs.h header from user space is broken
since commit 0583fcc because the umode_t type is no longer exported.
This happens for example when compiling busybox' tune2fs applet. The
e2fsprogs package does not have this problem because it ships with
its own header and doesn't use the one exported by the Linux kernel.

However, since busybox doesn't use the ext2_mask_flags() function the
easiest fix is to just not export it and as a result the umode_t type
definition is longer needed.
