ubifs: introduce Kconfig symbol for xattr support
Allow to disable extended attribute support. This aids in reliability testing, especially since some xattr related bugs have surfaced. Also an embedded system might not need it, so this allows for a slightly smaller kernel (about 4KiB). Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>
