[PATCH v5 6/7] fs: prepare for extending file_get/setattr()

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il at gmail.com>

We intend to add support for more xflags to selective filesystems and
We cannot rely on copy_struct_from_user() to detect this extension.

In preparation of extending the API, do not allow setting xflags unknown
by this kernel version.

Also do not pass the read-only flags and read-only field fsx_nextents to
filesystem.

These changes should not affect existing chattr programs that use the
ioctl to get fsxattr before setting the new values.
