[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2/security: Check xattr support in security_init.

[Tao Ma]

If the system supports selinux, we will return sucessfully from
ocfs2_init_security_get if it is called for the mount point.
And in that case if the volume doesn't have xattr support, we
will not be able to create a new inode in the mount dir because
ocfs2_mknod will try to set security attributes for a new created
inode. This patch check xattr support in ocfs2_init_security_get,
so it will let ocfs2_mknod knows that we don't support xattr and
it don't need to init security for the new inode in that case.
