mm/shmem: fix chattr fsflags support in tmpfs
ext[234] have always allowed unimplemented chattr flags to be set, but other filesystems have tended to be stricter. Follow the stricter approach for tmpfs: I don't want to have to explain why csu attributes don't actually work, and we won't need to update the chattr(1) manpage; and it's never wrong to start off strict, relaxing later if persuaded. Allow only a (append only) i (immutable) A (no atime) and d (no dump). Although lsattr showed 'A' inherited, the NOATIME behavior was not being inherited: because nothing sync'ed FS_NOATIME_FL to S_NOATIME. Add shmem_set_inode_flags() to sync the flags, using inode_set_flags() to avoid that instant of lost immutablility during fileattr_set(). But that change switched generic/079 from passing to failing: because FS_IMMUTABLE_FL and FS_APPEND_FL had been unconventionally included in the INHERITED fsflags: remove them and generic/079 is back to passing.
