[RFC v2 1/4] vfs: skip extra attributes check on removal for symlinks

Linux filesystems cannot set extra file attributes (stx_attributes as per statx(2)) on a symbolic link. To set extra file attributes you issue ioctl(2) with FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, *all* ioctl(2) calls on a symbolic link yield EBADF. This is because ioctl(2) tries to obtain struct fd from the symbolic
