From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: simple_xattr: permit 0-size extended attributes
If a filesystem uses simple_xattr to support user extended attributes, LTP
setxattr01 and xfstests generic/062 fail with "Cannot allocate memory":
simple_xattr_alloc()'s wrap-around test mistakenly excludes values of zero
size. Fix that off-by-one (but apparently no filesystem needs them yet).
