xfs: hide metadata inodes from everyone because they are special

Metadata inodes are private files and therefore cannot be exposed to
userspace.  This means no bulkstat, no open-by-handle, no linking them
into the directory tree, and no feeding them to LSMs.  As such, we mark
them S_PRIVATE, which stops all that.
