[PATCH] ubifs: Remove unused "security.*" xattr handler

[PATCH] ubifs: Remove unused "security.*" xattr handler

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Ubifs installs a "security.*" xattr handler in sb->s_xattr but doesn't use the
generic_{get,set,list,remove}xattr inode operations needed for processing this
list of attribute handlers; the handler is never called.  Instead, ubifs uses
its own xattr handlers which also process "security.*" xattrs.

Remove the dead code.
