I don't think that this code changing is correct. Current modification
breaks logic. Please, see my comments below.

I agree that it makes sense to remove this code if permission checking
is done by generic code.

This function works for all handlers. So, I don't think that it makes sense
to delete it.

I agree that it needs to remove this check for XATTR_SYSTEM_PREFIX case.

I think that this check is important. It forbids such combinations as "osx.system.*" or
"osx.trusted.*", for example. Because "osx.*" is virtual namespace for xattrs that
it can be under Mac OS X. If you want to set xattr from "system.*" namespace, for example,
then you need to use another handler. And such namespace should be without
addition of "osx." prefix.

The __hfsplus_setxattr() is common method for all handlers. So, removing
this call means that we don't check validity of namespace. I don't think
that such modification is a right way.

Ditto. Moreover, it is used namely hfsplus_removexattr() and not
__hfsplus_setxattr() for removing xattrs in hfsplus driver. So, removing
this check is not good way.

If common check in __hfsplus_setxattr() will be on the same place then
this addition doesn't make sense.
