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

The local_chown() callback is vulnerable to symlink attacks because it
calls:

(1) lchown() which follows symbolic links for all path elements but the
    rightmost one
(2) local_set_xattr()->setxattr() which follows symbolic links for all
    path elements
(3) local_set_mapped_file_attr() which calls in turn local_fopen() and
    mkdir(), both functions following symbolic links for all path
    elements but the rightmost one

This patch converts local_chown() to rely on open_nofollow() and
fchownat() to fix (1), as well as local_set_xattrat() and
local_set_mapped_file_attrat() to fix (2) and (3) respectively.

This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
