vfs: pass S_IFDIR mode to vfs_prepare_mode()

There is a comment in vfs_prepare_mode() that says:

  Note that it's currently valid for @type to be 0 if a directory is
  created. Filesystems raise that flag individually and we need to check
  whether each filesystem can deal with receiving S_IFDIR from the vfs
  before we enforce a non-zero type.

It is safe to do this clean-up except that three filesystems (fuse,
cifs, and coda) forward the mkdir @mode unchanged to something outside
the kernel. Mask S_IFDIR back out in coda_mkdir(), fuse_mkdir() and
cifs_mkdir() so that what is sent outside the kernel is unchanged.
Their maintainers can drop the mask once they have confirmed it is safe.
