Subject: ovl: filter trusted xattr for non-admin

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>


[ Upstream commit a082c6f680da298cf075886ff032f32ccb7c5e1a ]

Filesystems filter out extended attributes in the "trusted." domain for
unprivlieged callers.

Overlay calls underlying filesystem's method with elevated privs, so need
to do the filtering in overlayfs too.
