Previously direct calls to vfs_*xattr() didn't print debug info. This
was deliberate as debugging normal operations would drown out the
interesting calls. But perhaps it doesn't matter nowadays, since
overlayfs is stable and nobody enables debugging anymore...
Anyway, I feel that this should be a separate change, or at least
documented in the patch header.
