[PATCH] fsstack: Introduce fsstack_copy_{attr,inode}_*

Introduce several fsstack_copy_* functions which allow stackable filesystems
(such as eCryptfs and Unionfs) to easily copy over (currently only) inode
attributes.  This prevents code duplication and allows for code reuse.

[akpm@osdl.org: Remove unneeded wrapper]
[bunk@stusta.de: fs/stack.c should #include <linux/fs_stack.h>]
