well, that's the case if the OS doesn't support ENOATTR, so the library uses 
ENODATA in its place.  if the OS does have its own, then we return ENOATTR 
everywhere, so checking ENODATA won't help.

it might be the case on Linux that ENOATTR == ENODATA, but i think the goal is 
for libattr to be more than Linux.
