When creating a local format symlink, we expect the target buffer in the
data fork to have enough space to contain the null, but we also expect
if_bytes to reflect the length of the target /not/ including the null.
If we don't adjust if_bytes down by one byte, we can run off into
uninitialized memory.  Fix this, which should clean up the spurious
xfs/019 failures for good.

Ugh.  Why do we even have protofiles?  I have never seen these in use
in real life.  Can we just deprecate this half-baked crap?  :/

You suggested on IRC that we just use xfs_init_local fork; I had looked
at that when I did the first patch and for some reason didn't use it,
but looking again it seems ... ok.  I hate how all of this stuff is
re-implemented in the protofile crap code and it seems like we can't
re-use too many of the libxfs functions directly but may as well use
this if we can, right?

Admittedly I wondered if we can leak memory that way, but AFAICT a new
inode shouldn't really have if_bytes > 0, right?

Funny you mention it, but I've been quietly refactoring the xfs_inode.c
code into libxfs as part of preparing for the metadata directory
feature, which has enabled me to cut a considerable amount of opencoded
crap out of mkfs and repair.  Granted, I still have to make sure it all
/works/, but ... yes this all should be using libxfs functions. :)

Uh, I'll give this patch a spin and see what happens.

Seems fine to me, so...
