Do you mean that trying to remove an xattr that does not exist should
return 0? Standard behavior is to return -ENODATA in this situation.

Fixed.

The kernel does not forbid XATTR_NAME_CAPS for non-regular files and
will internally even try to read them from non-regular files during
killpriv checks. If we do not add handlers then we will end up using the
normal ovl xattr handlers, which call vfs_*xattr(). These will return an
error for fscaps xattrs after this series, which would be a change in
behavior for overlayfs and make it behave differently from other
filesystems.
