It seems some of these flags are duplicated with the st_information field,
and some are duplicate with FS_IOC_GETFLAGS values, and returning the same
information in multiple ways is confusing.

If these flags are part of the CIFS protocol, and are directly usable by
Samba then I can understand we wouldn't want to change them once in the
kernel and then convert them back in userspace, but I'm a bit reluctant
to have flags only for CIFS/NTFS/FAT that might also be useful for other filesystems.  Would we want to be able to get translated st_win_attrs
flags in ext4 attrs when it is being exported by Samba?

How does this differ from (st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR)?

How does this differ from (st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)?

> 	STATX_WIN_ATTR_TEMPORARY

How does this differ from STATX_INFO_TEMPORARY?

How does this differ from STATX_INFO_ENCRYPTED?
