Just like xfs_attr3_leaf_split, xfs_attr_node_try_addname can return -ENOSPC both for an actual failure to allocate a disk block, but also to signal the caller to convert the format of the attr fork. Use magic 1 to ask for the conversion here as well. Note that unlike the similar issue in xfs_attr3_leaf_split, this one was only found by code review.
