Jim Garlick d9a738597f fs/9p: xattr: add trusted and security namespaces
Allow requests for security.* and trusted.* xattr name spaces
to pass through to server.

The new files are 99% cut and paste from fs/9p/xattr_user.c with the
namespaces changed.  It has the intended effect in superficial testing.
I do not know much detail about how these namespaces are used, but passing
them through to the server, which can decide whether to handle them or not,
seems reasonable.

I want to support a use case where an ext4 file system is mounted via 9P,
then re-exported via samba to windows clients in a cluster.  Windows wants
to store xattrs such as security.NTACL.  This works when ext4 directly
backs samba, but not when 9P is inserted.  This use case is documented here:

Kees Cook c904197533 fs/9p: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

Eric Van Hensbergen 87211cd8db 9p: remove experimental tag from tested configurations
The 9p client is currently undergoing regular regresssion and
stress testing as a by-product of the virtfs work.  I think its
finally time to take off the experimental tags from the well-tested
code paths.

Randy Dunlap 255614c459 fs/9p: fix menu presentation
Make the 9P_FS kconfig options subordinate to the 9P_FS kconfig symbol
in the menu presentation instead of them all being at the same level.

Abhishek Kulkarni 60e78d2c99 9p: Add fscache support to 9p
This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for
9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend.

When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated
with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache
indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels:
- session object associated with each mount.
- inode/vcookie
- actual data (pages)

A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can
be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time
parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.
