[PATCH 4.4-stable] jffs2: return -ERANGE when xattr buffer is too small

[Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,

The problem had been fixed by 764a5c6b1fa4 ("xattr handlers: Simplify list
operation") in v4.5-rc1, but the modification in that commit may be too much
because it modifies all file-systems which implement xattr, so I create a single
patch for jffs2 to fix the problem. Which one is your preference ?

Hi Andreas,

Could you please help review the patch ?

Thanks,
Tao

When a file have multiple xattrs and the passed buffer is
smaller than the required size, jffs2_listxattr() should
return -ERANGE instead of continue, else Oops may occurs
due to memory corruption.

Also remove the unnecessary check ("rc < 0"), because
xhandle->list(...) will not return an error number.

Spotted by generic/377 in xfstests-dev.
