Yeah, the name list buffer here and in scrub could also be reduced
in size to 4k or something like that. Long ago the attrlist ioctl had a
bug in it where it would loop forever, which is why scrub allocated such
a huge buffer to try to avoid falling into that trap. But that was
~2017, those kernels should have been retired or patched by now.
