The tagging is a bit wrong, but it is a generic fsverity ioctl, though
ext4/f2fs/btrfs don't have implementations.

<shrug> According to Ted, programs that care about fsverity are supposed
to check that VERITY is set in the stat data, but I imagine those
programs aren't expecting it to turn off suddenly.  Maybe I should make
this CAP_SYS_ADMIN?  Or withdraw it?
