[PATCH v7 04/16] ntfs3: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Report NTFS case sensitivity behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD flag. NTFS always preserves case at rest. Case sensitivity depends on mount options: with "nocase", NTFS is case-insensitive; otherwise it is case-sensitive.
