------------------------------------------------------
From: Sanidhya Kashyap <sanidhya.gatech@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ocfs2: trusted xattr missing CAP_SYS_ADMIN check

The trusted extended attributes are only visible to the process which hvae
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability but the check is missing in ocfs2 xattr_handler
trusted list.  The check is important because this will be used for
implementing mechanisms in the userspace for which other ordinary
processes should not have access to.
