nfsd: add support for the umask attribute
Clients can set the umask attribute when creating files to cause the server to apply it always except when inheriting permissions from the parent directory. That way, the new files will end up with the same permissions as files created locally. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-umask-02 for more details.
