ocfs2: trusted xattr missing CAP_SYS_ADMIN check

The trusted extended attributes are only visible to the process which
hvae CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability but the check is missing in ocfs2
xattr_handler trusted list.  The check is important because this will be
used for implementing mechanisms in the userspace for which other
ordinary processes should not have access to.
