kernfs: implement "trusted.*" xattr support
kernfs inherited "security.*" xattr support from sysfs. This patch extends xattr support to "trusted.*" using simple_xattr_*(). As trusted xattrs are restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, simple_xattr_*() which uses kernel memory for storage shouldn't be problematic. Note that the existing "security.*" support doesn't implement get/remove/list and the this patch only implements those ops for "trusted.*". We probably want to extend those ops to include support for "security.*". This patch will allow using kernfs from cgroup which requires "trusted.*" xattr support.
