fix undefined behavior

While building mc-4.8.16 under FreeBSD 9.x using system gcc 4.2.1,
one obtains a warning:

interface.c: In function 'mc_open':
interface.c:203: warning: 'mode_t' is promoted to 'int' when passed through
'...'
interface.c:203: warning: (so you should pass 'int' not 'mode_t' to 'va_arg=
')
interface.c:203: note: if this code is reached, the program will abort
interface.c:203: warning: will never be executed

gcc generates instruction "ud2a" for the code and mc crashes with SIGILL wh=
en
it calls mc_open() function to create a file, e.g. while copying a file to
another directory or saving a file in the mcedit.

A patch is attached.
