kernfs: implement "trusted.*" xattr support
kernfs inherited "security.*" xattr support from sysfs. This patch
extends xattr support to "trusted.*" using simple_xattr_*(). As
trusted xattrs are restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, simple_xattr_*() which
uses kernel memory for storage shouldn't be problematic.
Note that the existing "security.*" support doesn't implement
get/remove/list and the this patch only implements those ops for
"trusted.*". We probably want to extend those ops to include support
for "security.*".
This patch will allow using kernfs from cgroup which requires
"trusted.*" xattr support.
