src/t_attr_corruption uses the security.evm extended attribute because
it sorts before security.posix_acl_access.  The security.evm attribute
is a formatted structure and when passed an uninitialized buffer, it
will fail with EPERM.

We see test failures like:

     +++ /opt/xfstests/results//generic/529.out.bad 2019-02-21 13:57:31.967406922 -0500
     @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
      QA output created by 529
     -list attr: Numerical result out of range
     +set evm: Operation not permitted

This patch uses security.capability which also sorts where it needs to
do for the test and also accepts an unformatted buffer.

This fails for me both with and without EVM configured into my kernel:

fsetxattr(3, "security.capability", "\3", 1, XATTR_CREATE) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

Judging from fs/xattr.c it looks as though security.capability also has
a defined format that's parsed by security/commoncap.c...
And now that I've figured out how to reproduce the xfs bug without a
second attribute, NAK to this and I'll send a more complete fix shortly.

Hi Darrick,

Sorry, i missed this comment.  Your v2 patch is better and simpler to me.

Best Regards,
