 dset always fiddles with the file flags.
 
 Fixes:
 
 - don't run dset on every boot.
 - change dset to not fiddle with the file flags.  This also fixes its
   non-restoral of the file flags after an error.
 - don't install kernels with schg set if you want dset to unsecure them.

State-Changed-Why:  
dset has been nuked long ago when we went ELF. 
A look on -current shows that inode change time 
on /boot/kernel/kernel is not modified.
