  The mode in the new attribute access added in g:06febd8c670
to readlinkat() for the third argument is wrong: it's read_only
but the function writes into the object.  The mode should be
write_only.

The trivial patch below corrects this mistake.  Unless there
are objections I'll go ahead and commit it in the next few days.

Why do we need an access attribute at all for __len, let alone a 
__write_only__ one?

? This is not on __len, this is on __buf (arg 3) for __len bytes (arg 4)
