Subject: ovl: filter trusted xattr for non-admin
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a082c6f680da298cf075886ff032f32ccb7c5e1a ]
Filesystems filter out extended attributes in the "trusted." domain for
unprivlieged callers.
Overlay calls underlying filesystem's method with elevated privs, so need
to do the filtering in overlayfs too.
