[PATCH 8/9] Unionfs: fix unionfs_setattr to handle ATTR_KILL_S*ID

[Erez Zadok <ezk@cs.sunysb.edu>]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

Don't allow unionfs_setattr to trip the BUG() in notify_change. Clear
ATTR_MODE if the either ATTR_KILL_S*ID is set. This also allows the
lower filesystem to interpret these bits in its own way.
