JFS: Allow security.* xattrs to be set on symlinks All of the different xattr namespaces have different rules. user.* and ACL's are not allowed on symlinks, and since these were the first xattrs implemented, I assumed there was no need to support xattrs on symlinks. This one-line patch should fix it. Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com>
