ntfs: respect per-file chmod mode over mount masks

fmask and dmask provide the default permissions for files without WSL
metadata. Once chmod stores a mode in $LXMOD, however, that per-file mode
must take precedence so selected files can retain permissions such as
execute across remounts.

Record whether $LXMOD was found while loading an inode and apply the mount
masks only when it is absent. Do not remask the in-memory mode after
setattr persists it. Continue loading $LXMOD even when optional $LXUID or
$LXGID metadata is missing, since chmod may create only $LXMOD.
