FSAL_VFS: Replace sticky‑bit referral trigger with xattr‑based detection (user.fs_location) This change simplifies and clarifies NFSv4 referral handling in FSAL_VFS by removing the sticky‑bit/no‑exec trigger and using only the presence of the extended attribute user.fs_location to decide whether a directory is a referral junction. The sticky‑bit mechanism overloaded traditional POSIX semantics and caused confusion for admins and tooling (auditors, CM systems) while offering no protocol‑level benefit. Using the fs_locations attribute per NFSv4 aligns better with the specification and makes referral configuration explicit and self‑describing.
