The patchset implements the existing VFS ioctls for reading extended
ioctl flags by btrfs.

There are many flags/attributes/extended/combined, the naming is
confusing, so let's recap what we have:

* generic VFS inode flags (i_flags)
  - S_* namespace
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.17-rc1/source/include/linux/fs.h#L1850
  - FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS
  - tools: lsatrr, chattr

* btrfs inode flags, on-disk format, independent of the above, with
  to/from conversions
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.17-rc1/source/fs/btrfs/ctree.h#L1416

* extended attributes, also called XATTR, but they're different entity,
  stored by an inode as key:value pairs
  - tools: getfattr, setfattr

* XFLAGs, another interface to the generic S_* flags, new ioctl added
  because [GS]ETFLAGS is frozen, new bits added, eg. for project quotas
  or DAX, and more that originate in XFS features
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/uapi/linux/fs.h#L168
  - tools: xfs_io -c lsattr, xfs_io -c chattr

In the future, btrfs will probably get:

- nodefrag -- eg. to disable autodefrag or defrag ioctl
- nosymlinks -- for directories, prevent creating new symlinks
- dax
