[PATCH v2 12/12] staging/lustre/llite: extended attribute cache

From: Andrew Perepechko This patch implements an extended attribute cache for a Lustre client. It is organized as a write-through cache: reads are performed from cache, updates are sent synchronously to the MDS. An additional inode bit MDS_INODELOCK_XATTR is added to protect the cache.
