JFS: ext2 inode attributes for jfs

ext2 inode attributes with relevance for jfs:

'a' 	EXT2_APPEND_FL       -> append only
'i' 	EXT2_IMMUTABLE_FL    -> immutable file
's' 	EXT2_SECRM_FL	     -> zero file
'u' 	EXT2_UNRM_FL	     -> allow for unrm
'A' 	EXT2_NOATIME_FL      -> no access time
'D' 	EXT2_DIRSYNC_FL      -> dirsync
'S' 	EXT2_SYNC_FL	     -> sync

the implementation is straight forward, except
for the fact that the attributes have to be mapped
to match with the ext2 ones to avoid a separate
tool for manipulating them (this could be avoided
when using a separate flag field in the on-disk
representation, but the overhead is minimal)

a special jfs_ioctl is added to allow for the new
JFS_IOC_GETFLAGS and JFS_IOC_SETFLAGS calls.

a helper function jfs_set_inode_flags() to transfer
the flags from the on-disk version to the inode

minor changes to allow flag inheritance on inode
creation, as well as a cleanup of the on-disk
flags (including the new ones)

beforementioned helper to map between ext2 and jfs
versions of the new flags ...

the JFS_SECRM_FL and JFS_UNRM_FL are not done yet
and I'm not 100% sure they are worth the effort,
the rest seems to work out of the box ...
