xattr: Fix error results for non-existent / invisible attributes

Browse Source 
Return -ENODATA when trying to read a user.* attribute which cannot
exist: user space otherwise does not have a reasonable way to
distinguish between non-existent and inaccessible attributes.

Likewise, return -ENODATA when an unprivileged process tries to read a
trusted.* attribute: to unprivileged processes, those attributes are
invisible (listxattr() won't include them).
