xfs: hide metadata inodes from everyone because they are special
Metadata inodes are private files and therefore cannot be exposed to userspace. This means no bulkstat, no open-by-handle, no linking them into the directory tree, and no feeding them to LSMs. As such, we mark them S_PRIVATE, which stops all that. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
