LU-9193 security: return security context for metadata ops
Security layer needs to fetch security context of files/dirs
upon metadata ops like lookup, getattr, open, truncate, and
layout, for its own purpose and control checks.
Retrieving the security context consists in a getxattr operation
at the file system level. The fact that the requested metadata
operation and the getxattr are not atomic can create a window
for a dead-lock situation where, based on some access patterns,
all MDT service threads can become stuck waiting for lookup lock
to be released and thus unable to serve getxattr for security context.
Another problem is that sending an additional getxattr request for
every metadata op hurts performance.
This patch introduces a way to get atomicity by having
the MDT return security context upon granted lock reply,
sparing the client an additional getxattr request.
