Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Always set the home directory permissions according to
 HOME_MODE

Currently the home directory permissions are set by taking the /etc/skel
mode and masking it with HOME_MODE:

    override_umask = 0777 & ~get_umask(&configured_umask, "HOME_MODE");
    stat(skel, &sb); /* performed by nftw() */
    oddjob_selinux_mkdir(newpath, sb->st_mode & ~override_umask, uid, gid);

The problem is that when HOME_MODE is more permissive than /etc/skel,
the masking will not produce the desired result, e.g.

    skel_mode = 0755
    HOME_MODE = 0775
    override_umask = 0777 & ~HOME_MODE /* 0002 */
    mode = skel_mode & ~override_umask /* 0755 & 0775 = 0755 */

In order to fix the problem, always use 0777 & ~override_umask for the
top home directory.
