Btrfs: only inherit btrfs specific flags when creating files
Xfstests 79 was failing because we were inheriting the S_APPEND flag when we
weren't supposed to. There isn't any specific documentation on this so I'm
taking the test as the standard of how things work, and having S_APPEND set on a
directory doesn't mean that S_APPEND gets inherited by its children according to
this test. So only inherit btrfs specific things. This will let us set
compress/nocompress on specific directories and everything in the directories
will inherit this flag, same with nodatacow. With this patch test 79 passes.
Thanks,
