The file_kattr structure now provides case_insensitive and case_preserving fields for this purpose, but vboxsf does not yet report its case sensitivity behavior through this interface. Implement vboxsf_fileattr_get() to report the case handling behavior of VirtualBox shared folders. The case sensitivity property is queried from the VirtualBox host service at mount time and cached in struct vboxsf_sbi. The host determines case sensitivity based on the underlying host filesystem (for example, Windows NTFS is case-insensitive while Linux ext4 is case-sensitive). VirtualBox shared folders always preserve filename case exactly as provided by the guest. The host interface does not expose a case_preserving property, so this is hardcoded to true. The callback is registered in all three inode_operations structures (directory, file, and symlink) to ensure consistent reporting across all inode types.
