security,overlayfs: Provide security hook for copy up of xattrs for overlay file
Provide a security hook which is called when xattrs of a file are being copied up. This hook is called once for each xattr and LSM can return 0 if the security module wants the xattr to be copied up, 1 if the security module wants the xattr to be discarded on the copy, -EOPNOTSUPP if the security module does not handle/manage the xattr, or a -errno upon an error.
