Symlinks are created by default with mode 777 now, old behavior is still
accessible through sysctl through.  irixsgid mount option deprecated and
it too is still accessible through sysctl.  Minor related cleanups.

        - Deprecate the irixsgid mount option.

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_globals.c - 1.36
        - Remove the restricted_chown global variable here, handle this in a way
          thats consistent with other parameters (sgid, symlink perms).

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_linux.h - 1.85
        - Make restricted_chown, irix_sgid_inherit and irix_symlink_mode as
          configurable parameters.

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_super.c - 1.217
        - Deprecate the irixsgid mount option.  Move the new code dealing with
          showing mount args closer to the parsing code, and also make it use
          the predefined mount option strings (fixes inconsistencies in quota
          option reporting in the process).

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_iops.c - 1.176
        - By default we now create symlinks with mode 777, ie. the Linux way.
          The previous behavior can still be reached through sysctl, however.

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_globals.h - 1.14
        - Remove the restricted_chown global variable here, handle this in a
          way thats consistent with other parameters (sgid, symlink perms).

linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_sysctl.h - 1.6
linux/fs/xfs/linux/xfs_sysctl.c - 1.9
        - Make restricted_chown, irix_sgid_inherit and irix_symlink_mode as
          configurable parameters.  All default to the normal Linux behavior.
