pstore: Make default pstorefs root dir perms 0750
Currently only DMESG and CONSOLE record types are protected, and it isn't obvious that they are using a capability check. Instead switch to explicit root directory mode of 0750 to keep files private by default. This will allow the removal of the capability check, which was non-obvious and forces a process to have possibly too much privilege when simple post-boot chgrp for readers would be possible without it.
