Use __vfs_getxattr() instead of vfs_getxattr(), in preparation for
deprecating using the vfs_ interfaces for retrieving fscaps.

__vfs_getxattr() is only used for debugging purposes, to check if kernel
space and user space see the same xattr value.

__vfs_getxattr() won't give you the value as seen by userspace though.
Userspace goes through vfs_getxattr() -> xattr_getsecurity() ->
cap_inode_getsecurity(), which does the conversion to the value
userspace sees. __vfs_getxattr() just gives the raw disk data.

I'm also currently working on changes to my fscaps series that will make
it so that __vfs_getxattr() also cannot be used to read fscaps xattrs.
I'll fix this and other code in EVM which will be broken by that change
as part of the next version too.

(Apologies, I should have been more careful).
