    linux(4): Return ENOTSUP from xattr syscalls instead of EPERM
    
    FreeBSD does not permits manipulating extended attributes in the system
    namespace by unprivileged accounts, even if account has appropriate
    privileges to access filesystem object.
    In Linux the system namespace is used to preserve posix acls. Some Gnu
    coreutils binaries uses posix acls, eg, install, ls.  And fails if we
    unexpectedly return EPERM error from xattr system calls.
    
    In the other hands, in Linux read and write access to the system
    namespace depend on the policy implemented for each filesystem, so we'll
    mimics we're a filesystem that prohibits this for unpriveleged accounts.
