acl: don't depend on IOP_XATTR
All codepaths that don't want to implement POSIX ACLs should simply not
implement the associated inode operations instead of relying on
IOP_XATTR. That's the case for all filesystems today.
For vfs_listxattr() all filesystems that explicitly turn of xattrs for a
given inode all set inode->i_op to a dedicated set of inode operations
that doesn't implement ->listxattr(). We can remove the dependency of
vfs_listxattr() on IOP_XATTR.
Removing this dependency will allow us to decouple POSIX ACLs from
IOP_XATTR and they can still be listed even if no other xattr handlers
are implemented. Otherwise we would have to implement elaborate schemes
to raise IOP_XATTR even if sb->s_xattr is set to NULL.
