[PATCH 1/8] Documentation/filesystems: fix documentation for ->getattr()

[David Howells]

From: Eric Biggers <ebigg...@google.com>

Following the recent merge of statx, correct the documented prototype
for the ->getattr() inode operation, and add an entry to the porting
file.

        ->readlink is optional for symlinks.  Don't set, unless filesystem needs

+       ->getattr() is now passed a struct path rather than a vfsmount and
+       dentry separately, and it now has request_mask and query_flags arguments
+       to specify the fields and sync type requested by statx.  Filesystems not
+       supporting any statx-specific features may ignore the new arguments.
