It is common practice for security solutions to store tags/labels in xattrs. To implement similar functionalities in BPF LSM, add new kfunc bpf_get_file_xattr(). The first use case of bpf_get_file_xattr() is to implement file verifications with asymmetric keys. Specificially, security applications could use fsverity for file hashes and use xattr to store file signatures. (kfunc for fsverity hash will be added in a separate commit.) Currently, only xattrs with "user." prefix can be read with kfunc bpf_get_file_xattr(). As use cases evolve, we may add a dedicated prefix for bpf_get_file_xattr(). To avoid recursion, bpf_get_file_xattr can be only called from LSM hooks.
