Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 007/294] fuse: Return EPERM rather than ENOSYS from link()

From: Matt Johnston <matt@...econstruct.com.au>

[ Upstream commit 8344213571b2ac8caf013cfd3b37bc3467c3a893 ]

link() is documented to return EPERM when a filesystem doesn't support
the operation, return that instead.
