This helps to pre-simplify the extra handling of the null terminator in
delayed operations which use memcpy rather than strlen. Later
when we introduce parent pointers, attribute names will become binary,
so strlen will not work at all. Removing uses of strlen now will
help reduce complexities later

When doing file lookups and checking for permissions, we end up in
xfs_get_acl() to see if there are any ACLs on the inode. This
requires and xattr lookup, and to do that we have to supply a buffer
large enough to hold an maximum sized xattr.
On workloads were we are accessing a wide range of cache cold files
under memory pressure (e.g. NFS fileservers) we end up spending a
lot of time allocating the buffer. The buffer is 64k in length, so
is a contiguous multi-page allocation, and if that then fails we
fall back to vmalloc(). Hence the allocation here is /expensive/
when we are looking up hundreds of thousands of files a second.
Initial numbers from a bpf trace show average time in xfs_get_acl()
is ~32us, with ~19us of that in the memory allocation. Note these
are average times, so there are going to be affected by the worst
case allocations more than the common fast case...
To avoid this, we could just do a "null" lookup to see if the ACL
xattr exists and then only do the allocation if it exists. This,
however, optimises the path for the "no ACL present" case at the
expense of the "acl present" case. i.e. we can halve the time in
xfs_get_acl() for the no acl case (i.e down to ~10-15us), but that
then increases the ACL case by 30% (i.e. up to 40-45us).
To solve this and speed up both cases, drive the xattr buffer
allocation into the attribute code once we know what the actual
xattr length is. For the no-xattr case, we avoid the allocation
completely, speeding up that case. For the common ACL case, we'll
end up with a fast heap allocation (because it'll be smaller than a
page), and only for the rarer "we have a remote xattr" will we have
a multi-page allocation occur. Hence the common ACL case will be
much faster, too.

When we're iterating all the attributes using the built-in xattr
iterator, we can use the seen_enough variable to pass error codes back
to the main scrub function instead of flattening them into 0/1. This
will be used in a more exciting fashion in upcoming patches.

During testing of xfs/141 on a V4 filesystem, I observed some
inconsistent behavior with regards to resources that are held (i.e.
remain locked) across a defer roll. The transaction roll always gives
the defer roll function a new transaction, even if committing the old
transaction fails. However, the defer roll function only rejoins the
held resources if the transaction commit succeedied. This means that
callers of defer roll have to figure out whether the held resources are
attached to the transaction being passed back.
Worse yet, if the defer roll was part of a defer finish call, we have a
third possibility: the defer finish could pass back a dirty transaction
with dirty held resources and an error code.
The only sane way to handle all of these scenarios is to require that
the code that held the resource either cancel the transaction before
unlocking and releasing the resources, or use functions that detach
resources from a transaction properly (e.g. xfs_trans_brelse) if they
need to drop the reference before committing or cancelling the
transaction.
In order to make this so, change the defer roll code to join held
resources to the new transaction unconditionally and fix all the bhold
callers to release the held buffers correctly.
