[PATCH] ocfs2: trusted xattr missing CAP_SYS_ADMIN check

[Sanidhya Kashyap]

The trusted extended attributes are only visible to the process which hvae
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability but the check is missing in ocfs2 xattr_handler
trusted list. The check is important because this will be used for implementing
mechanisms in the userspace for which other ordinary processes should not
have access to.
