Well it does that, but it also adds the UAPI for querying the
on-disk flag via the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR interface as well. It
probably should be split up into two patches.

I think they should get it automatically now that it has been
defined for FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and added to the generic fileattr flag
fill functions in fs/ioctl.c.
