Subject: [PATCH v4 04/16] ntfs3: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@...cle.com>

Report NTFS case sensitivity behavior via the file_kattr boolean
fields. NTFS always preserves case at rest.

Case sensitivity depends on mount options: with "nocase", NTFS
is case-insensitive; otherwise it is case-sensitive.
