Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] ntfs3: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity

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

Report NTFS case sensitivity behavior via the new file_kattr
case_info field. NTFS always preserves case at rest.

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