I've wondered about this weird logic... if xfs_attr_shortform_addname
returns an error code other than ENOSPC, why would we commit the
transaction? Usually we let the error code bounce up to whomever
allocated the transaction and let them cancel it.
Hmm, looking around some more, I guess xfs_attr_shortform_remove can
return ENOATTR to _addname and _shortform_lookup can return EEXIST, but
with either of those error codes, the transaction isn't dirty so it's
not like we're committing garbage state into the filesystem...?
