Since commit deed9512872d ("xfs: Check for -ENOATTR or -EEXIST"), the high-level attr code does a lookup for any attr we're trying to set, and does the checks to handle the create vs replace cases, which thus never hit the low-level attr code. Turn the checks in xfs_attr_shortform_addname as they must never trip.
