    Pull common SETFLAGS/FSSETXATTR parameter checking from Darrick Wong:
     "Here's a patch series that sets up common parameter checking functions
      for the FS_IOC_SETFLAGS and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl implementations.
    
      The goal here is to reduce the amount of behaviorial variance between
      the filesystems where those ioctls originated (ext2 and XFS,
      respectively) and everybody else.
    
       - Standardize parameter checking for the SETFLAGS and FSSETXATTR
         ioctls (which were the file attribute setters for ext4 and xfs and
         have now been hoisted to the vfs)
    
       - Only allow the DAX flag to be set on files and directories"
    
    * tag 'vfs-fix-ioctl-checking-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
      vfs: only allow FSSETXATTR to set DAX flag on files and dirs
      vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check extent size hints
      vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check project id info
      vfs: create a generic checking function for FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR
      vfs: create a generic checking and prep function for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS
