xfs_attrlist_by_handle should only take the ATTR_ flags for the root
namespaces. The ATTR_KERN* flags may change at anytime and expect special
preconditions that can't be guaranteed for userspace-originating requests.
For example passing down ATTR_KERNNOVAL through xfs_attrlist_by_handle
will hit an assert in debug builds currently.
