This is a module for managing file attributes via ioctl.
Used IOCTL request constants:
    FS_IOC_GETFLAGS - get fs flags
    FS_IOC_SETFLAGS - set fs flags
Supported attributes:
    FS_IMMUTABLE_FL - immutable attribute
Refer to include/linux/fs.h for values of above constants:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v2.6.32.71/source/include/linux/fs.h
