[PATCH v2 25/25] vfs: return -EOPNOTSUPP for fscaps from vfs_*xattr()

Now that the new vfs-level interfaces are fully supported and all code
has been converted to use them, stop permitting use of the top-level vfs
xattr interfaces for capabilities xattrs. Unlike with ACLs we still need
to be able to work with fscaps xattrs using lower-level interfaces in a
handful of places, so only use of the top-level xattr interfaces is
restricted.
