The Linux VFS does not allow a way to set append/immuttable
attributes to symlinks, this is just not possible. If this is
detected inform the user as the filesystem must be corrupted.

Applied into the ext4 tree after verifying that e2fsck already handles
this case:

% e2fsck -fy /tmp/foo.img
e2fsck 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Special (device/socket/fifo/symlink) file (inode 13) has immutable
or append-only flag set.  Clear? yes

(The btrfs and xfs maintainers might want to make a similar check
before accepting their respective patches.)
