fs: add FS_XFLAG_VERITY for fs-verity files

Browse source

fs-verity introduced inode flag for inodes with enabled fs-verity on
them. This patch adds FS_XFLAG_VERITY file attribute which can be
retrieved with FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl() and file_getattr() syscall.

This flag is read-only and can not be set with corresponding set ioctl()
and file_setattr(). The FS_IOC_SETFLAGS requires file to be opened for
writing which is not allowed for verity files. The FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR and
file_setattr() clears this flag from the user input.

As this is now common flag for both flag interfaces (flags/xflags) add
it to overlapping flags list to exclude it from overwrite.
