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:

If you say Y here, you will get experimental support for
Plan 9 resource sharing via the 9P2000 protocol.
See <http://v9fs.sf.net> for more information.
If unsure, say N.

Choose Y here to enable persistent, read-only local

help
POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N

config 9P_FS_SECURITY
bool "9P Security Labels"
depends on 9P_FS
help
Security labels support alternative access control models
implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
enables an extended attribute handler for file security
labels in the 9P filesystem.
If you are not using a security module that requires using
extended attributes for file security labels, say N.
