Filesystems report case-insensitive or case-nonpreserving behavior by setting these flags directly in fa->fsx_xflags. The default (flags unset) indicates POSIX semantics: case-sensitive and case-preserving. These flags are read-only; userspace cannot set them via ioctl. Remove struct file_kattr initialization from fileattr_fill_xflags() and fileattr_fill_flags(). Callers at ioctl/syscall entry points zero-initialize the struct themselves, which allows them to pass hints (flags_valid, fsx_valid) to the filesystem's ->fileattr_get() callback via the fa argument. Filesystem handlers that invoke these fill functions can now set flags directly in fa->fsx_xflags before calling them, without the fill functions zeroing those values. Case sensitivity information is exported to userspace via the fa_xflags field in the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl and file_getattr() system call.
