[GFS2] remove unnecessary permission checks

Remove read/write permission() checks from xattr operations.
VFS layer is already handling permission for xattrs via the
xattr_permission() call, so there is no need for gfs2 to
check permissions. Futhermore, using permission() for SELinux
xattrs ops is incorrect.
