[PATCH v4 1/3] initramfs: add file metadata

[Roberto Sassu]

From: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds metadata to a file from a supplied buffer. The buffer might
contains multiple metadata records. The format of each record is:

<metadata len (ASCII, 8 chars)><version><type><metadata>

For now, only the TYPE_XATTR metadata type is supported. The specific
format of this metadata type is:

<xattr #N name>\0<xattr #N value>

[kamensky: fixed restoring of xattrs for symbolic links by using
           sys_lsetxattr() instead of sys_setxattr()]

[sassu: removed state management, kept only do_setxattrs(), added support
        for generic file metadata, replaced sys_lsetxattr() with
        vfs_setxattr(), added check for entry_size, added check for
        hdr->c_size, replaced strlen() with strnlen(); moved do_setxattrs()
        before do_name()]
