restore_xattrs: ignore if setxattr fails with EACCES, fixes #162

e.g.:
- setting any security.* key is expected to fail with EACCES if one is not root.
- issue #162 on our issue tracker: user was root, but due to some specific scenario
  involving docker and selinux, setting security.selinux key fails even when running as root

not sure if it is the best solution to silently ignore this, but some lines below this change
failure to do a chown is also silently ignored (happens e.g. when restoring a file not owned
by the current user as a non-root user).
