[PATCH v9 14/17] isofs: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity

Upper layers such as NFSD need a way to query whether a
filesystem handles filenames in a case-sensitive manner so
they can provide correct semantics to remote clients. Without
this information, NFS exports of ISO 9660 filesystems cannot
advertise their filename case behavior.

Implement isofs_fileattr_get() to report ISO 9660 case handling
behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD flag. The 'check=r' (relaxed)
mount option enables case-insensitive lookups, and this setting
determines the value reported. By default, Joliet extensions
operate in relaxed mode while plain ISO 9660 uses strict
(case-sensitive) mode. All ISO 9660 variants are case-preserving,
meaning filenames are stored exactly as they appear on the disc.

The callback is registered only on isofs_dir_inode_operations
because isofs has no custom inode_operations for regular
files, and symlinks use the generic page_symlink_inode_operations.
