[PATCH] umask in POSIX message queues

Hi

All kernels (form 2.6.6) ignore umask when creating new queues via
mq_open (when creating with open() on mqueue fs it is ok of course).
According to specification this a bug. The following trivial patch fixes
this. It should apply cleanly to any current kernel. Please apply.
