Andrey Albershteyn 0239bd9fa4 xfs: allow setting file attributes on special files
XFS does't have file attributes manipulation ioctls for special
files. Changing or reading file attributes is rejected for them in
xfs_fileattr_*et().

In XFS, this is necessary to work for project quota directories.
When project is set up, xfs_quota opens and calls FS_IOC_SETFSXATTR on
every inode in the directory. However, special files are skipped due to
open() returning a special inode for them. So, they don't even get to
this check.

The recently added file_getattr/file_setattr will call xfs_fileattr_*et,
on special files. This patch allows reading/changing file attributes on
special files.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
