9pfs: local: lsetxattr: don't follow symlinks

The local_lsetxattr() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because
it calls lsetxattr() which follows symbolic links in all path elements but
the rightmost one.

This patch introduces a helper to emulate the non-existing fsetxattrat()
function: it is implemented with /proc/self/fd which provides a trusted
path that can be safely passed to lsetxattr().

local_lsetxattr() is converted to use this helper and opendir_nofollow().

This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
