[PATCH v3 1/7] ubifs: Remove unused security xattr handler

From: Andreas Gruenbacher
Date: Sun Oct 04 2015 - 13:19:57 EST


Ubifs installs a security xattr handler in sb->s_xattr but doesn't use the
generic_{get,set,list,remove}xattr inode operations needed for processing
this list of attribute handlers; the handler is never called. Instead,
ubifs uses its own xattr handlers which also process security xattrs.

Remove the dead code.
