Current virtiofsd has problems about xattr operations and
they does not work properly for directory/symlink/special file.
The fundamental cause is that virtiofsd uses openat() + f...xattr()
systemcalls for xattr operation but we should not open symlink/special
file in the daemon. Therefore the function is restricted.
Fix this problem by:
1. during setup of each thread, call unshare(CLONE_FS)
2. in xattr operations (i.e. lo_getxattr), if inode is not a regular
file or directory, use fchdir(proc_loot_fd) + ...xattr() +
fchdir(root.fd) instead of openat() + f...xattr()
(Note: for a regular file/directory openat() + f...xattr()
is still used for performance reason)
With this patch, xfstests generic/062 passes on virtiofs.
This fix is suggested by Miklos Szeredi and Stefan Hajnoczi.
