    This patch ports commit 02b016ca ("ext4: enforce the immutable
    flag on open files") to f2fs.
    
    According to the chattr man page, "a file with the 'i' attribute
    cannot be modified..."  Historically, this was only enforced when the
    file was opened, per the rest of the description, "... and the file
    can not be opened in write mode".
    
    There is general agreement that we should standardize all file systems
    to prevent modifications even for files that were opened at the time
    the immutable flag is set.  Eventually, a change to enforce this at
    the VFS layer should be landing in mainline.
