BDEV_STATX_SUPPORTED_MASK is misleading here.  bdevs support a lot more
fields, these are just the ones needing special attention.  I'd do away
with the extra define and just open code it.

This is not the normal kernel multi-line comment format.

I know I touched this last, but does anyone remember why we have
various random fixups in vfs_statx and not in vfs_getattr_nosec, where
they we have more of them and also the inode at hand?
