xfs: allow setting file attributes on special files
XFS does't have file attributes manipulation ioctls for special files. Changing or reading file attributes is rejected for them in xfs_fileattr_*et(). In XFS, this is necessary to work for project quota directories. When project is set up, xfs_quota opens and calls FS_IOC_SETFSXATTR on every inode in the directory. However, special files are skipped due to open() returning a special inode for them. So, they don't even get to this check. The recently added file_getattr/file_setattr will call xfs_fileattr_*et, on special files. This patch allows reading/changing file attributes on special files.
