[PATCH v6 08/11] evm: Allow setxattr() and setattr() for unmodified metadata

[Roberto Sassu]

With the patch to allow xattr/attr operations if a portable signature
verification fails, cp and tar can copy all xattrs/attrs so that at the
end of the process verification succeeds.

However, it might happen that the xattrs/attrs are already set to the
correct value (taken at signing time) and signature verification succeeds
before the copy has completed. For example, an archive might contains files
owned by root and the archive is extracted by root.

Then, since portable signatures are immutable, all subsequent operations
fail (e.g. fchown()), even if the operation is legitimate (does not alter
the current value).

This patch avoids this problem by reporting successful operation to user
space when that operation does not alter the current value of xattrs/attrs.
