Agree. I'd recommend changing the attr_replace_test.c, make it have a
default max xattr size (keep using the XATTR_SIZE_MAX or define one if
it's not defined), then give it an optinal option which can specify a
customed max xattr size from outside.

Then the test case (e.g. g/486) which uses attr_replace_test can
specify a max xattr size if it needs. And it's easier to figure
out what attr size is better for a specified fs in test case.
