 Drop accidental write-attributes request

 Summary:
 The new filesystem code accidentally asks for write attributes
 permissions when doing read-only access.

 I believe this is what's causing the GHC 8.6.1 tarballs to fail
 when installed to a privileged location.
 I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet, but this permission
 bit is wrong anyway.

 Test Plan: I'm still trying to workout how to test that this works,
 changing the permissions on the folder doesn't seem to reproduce
 the error on a tarball I made from before the change.
