struct xfs_attr_leafblock contains 'entries' array which is declared
with size 1 altough it can in fact contain much more entries. Since this
array is followed by further struct members, gcc (at least in version
4.8.3) thinks that the delared size of the array is the real one and
thus optimizes away all accesses beyond the end of array resulting in
non-working code.
