Subject: [PATCH v5 08/16] xfs: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get

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

Upper layers such as NFSD need to query whether a filesystem is
case-sensitive. Populate the case_insensitive and case_preserving
fields in xfs_fileattr_get(). XFS always preserves case. XFS is
case-sensitive by default, but supports ASCII case-insensitive
lookups when formatted with the ASCIICI feature flag.
