Subject: [PATCH 4/4] xfs: don't allow most setxattr to immutable files

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@...cle.com>

The chattr manpage has this to say about immutable files:

"A file with the 'i' attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted
or renamed, no link can be created to this file, most of the file's
metadata can not be modified, and the file can not be opened in write
mode."

However, we don't actually check the immutable flag in the setattr code,
which means that we can update project ids and extent size hints on
supposedly immutable files.  Therefore, reject a setattr call on an
immutable file except for the case where we're trying to unset
IMMUTABLE.
