    sanitize xattr handler prototypes · 431547b3

    Add a flags argument to struct xattr_handler and pass it to all xattr
    handler methods.  This allows using the same methods for multiple
    handlers, e.g. for the ACL methods which perform exactly the same action
    for the access and default ACLs, just using a different underlying
    attribute.  With a little more groundwork it'll also allow sharing the
    methods for the regular user/trusted/secure handlers in extN, ocfs2 and
    jffs2 like it's already done for xfs in this patch.
    
    Also change the inode argument to the handlers to a dentry to allow
    using the handlers mechnism for filesystems that require it later,
    e.g. cifs.
