Doc Text:
Expanded `removexattr` support for CephFS virtual extended attributes Previously, `removexattr` was not supported on all appropriate Ceph virtual extended attributes, resulting in attempts to remove an extended attribute failing with a "No such attribute" error. With this fix, support for `removexattr` has been expanded to cover all pertinent CephFS virtual extended attributes. You can now properly use `removexattr` to remove attributes. You can also remove the layout on the root inode. Removing the layout restores the configuration to the default layout.

Description of problem:
setfattr -x option is not working for ceph.quota.maxfiles

added extended attribute to directory. when we did get it worked but when we did setfattr -x it fails with "No such attribute"

[root@ceph-amk-regression-oz3229-node7 ceph_kernel]# getfattr -n ceph.quota.max_files  /mnt/ceph_kernel/file_srcdir/ceph-amk-regression-oz3229-node7/thrd_00/d_000
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: mnt/ceph_kernel/file_srcdir/ceph-amk-regression-oz3229-node7/thrd_00/d_000
ceph.quota.max_files="100"

[root@ceph-amk-regression-oz3229-node7 ceph_kernel]# setfattr -x ceph.quota.max_files  /mnt/ceph_kernel/file_srcdir/ceph-amk-regression-oz3229-node7/thrd_00/d_000
setfattr: /mnt/ceph_kernel/file_srcdir/ceph-amk-regression-oz3229-node7/thrd_00/d_000: No such attribute


This is happening on both fuse and kernel mounts
