Using the host-defined file owner matches VFS1. It is more correct to use the
host-defined mode, since the cached value may become out of date. However,
kernfs.Inode.Mode() does not return an error--other filesystems on kernfs are
in-memory so retrieving mode should not fail. Therefore, if the host syscall
fails, we rely on a cached value instead.
Updates #1672.
