User namespace xattrs are generally useful, and I think extN
is the only filesystem requiring a special mount option to
enable them, when xattrs are otherwise available.  So this
change sets that mount option into the defaults.

Wouldn't it be more useful to change this in the kernel, instead of only changing it in the superblock for new filesystems?

I thought about that; maybe it should happen in both places?

Yes, agreed.  Maybe we should do the same thing with posix ACL's as
well?  ACL's can only take away access as compared to the unix
permission bits, so it's safe to enable ACL's.
