This should fix all of the filesystems in the mainline kernels to handle
ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID correctly. For most of them, this is
just a matter of making sure that they call generic_attrkill early in
the setattr inode op.

Looks reasonable to me for XFS. Acked-by: Tim Shimmin <tes@xxxxxxx>

So before, this clearing would happen directly in notify_change()
and now this won't happen until notify_change() calls i_op->setattr
which for a particular fs it can call generic_attrkill() to do it.
So I guess for the cases where i_op->setattr is called outside of
via notify_change, we don't normally have ATTR_KILL_SUID/SGID
set so that nothing will happen there?
I guess just wondering the effect with having the code on all
setattr's. (I'm not familiar with the code path)
