Fix O_APPEND open(2) flag
As described in flags section of open(2): O_APPEND: The file is opened in append mode. Before each write(2), the file offset is positioned at the end of the file, as if with lseek(2). O_APPEND may lead to corrupted files on NFS filesys- tems if more than one process appends data to a file at once. This is because NFS does not support appending to a file, so the client kernel has to simulate it, which can't be done without a race condition. This issue was originally overlooked because normally the generic VFS code handles this for a filesystem. However, because ZFS explictly registers a zpl_write() function it's responsible for the seek. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #3124
