The getxattr interface returns a length after filling out the value
buffer, and the convention with xattrs is to not NULL terminate string
data.
CephFS implements some virtual xattrs by using snprintf to fill the
buffer, but that always NULL terminates the string. If userland sends
down a buffer that is just the right length to hold the text without
termination then we end up truncating the value.
Factor the formatting piece of vsnprintf into a separate helper
function, and have vsnprintf call that and then do the NULL termination
afterward. Then add a snprintf_noterm function that calls the new helper
to populate the string but skips the termination.
