Merge branch 'work.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull vfs xattr updates from Al Viro:
 "Andreas' xattr cleanup series.

  It's a followup to his xattr work that went in last cycle; -0.5KLoC"

* 'work.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  xattr handlers: Simplify list operation
  ocfs2: Replace list xattr handler operations
  nfs: Move call to security_inode_listsecurity into nfs_listxattr
  xfs: Change how listxattr generates synthetic attributes
  tmpfs: listxattr should include POSIX ACL xattrs
  tmpfs: Use xattr handler infrastructure
  btrfs: Use xattr handler infrastructure
  vfs: Distinguish between full xattr names and proper prefixes
  posix acls: Remove duplicate xattr name definitions
  gfs2: Remove gfs2_xattr_acl_chmod
  vfs: Remove vfs_xattr_cmp
