Make safeguard against incorrect flags for fsync more portable.

The existing code assumed that O_RDONLY is defined as 0, but this is
not required by POSIX and is not true on GNU Hurd.  We can avoid
the assumption by relying on O_ACCMODE to mask the fcntl() result.
(Hopefully, all supported platforms define that.)
