vfs: move cap_convert_nscap() call into vfs_setxattr()

Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/7c03e2cda4a584cadc398e8f6641ca9988a39d52
Bug-Debian-Security: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2021-3493

cap_convert_nscap() does permission checking as well as conversion of the
xattr value conditionally based on fs's user-ns.

This is needed by overlayfs and probably other layered fs (ecryptfs) and is
what vfs_foo() is supposed to do anyway.
