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

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

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

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

This partly fixes CVE-2016-9602.
