We have several virtual xattrs in cephfs which return various values as
strings. xattrs don't necessarily return strings however, so we need to
include the terminating NULL byte when we return the length.

Furthermore, the getxattr manpage says that we should return -ERANGE if
the buffer is too small to hold the resulting value. Let's start doing
that here as well.

This confuses getfattr. also causes failures of our test cases.

run getfattr without the patch, we get:
[root@kvm2-alpha ceph]# getfattr -n ceph.dir.entries .
# file: .
ceph.dir.entries="1"


with the patch, we get
[root@kvm1-alpha ceph]# getfattr -n ceph.dir.entries .
# file: .
ceph.dir.entries=0sMQA=

So the trick here is we need the user buffer to be large enough to
hold the NUL byte so we can use snprintf in the kernel. So I think if
the buffer is not large enough, return ERANGE or size+1 (NUL byte) if
value==NULL. If the buffer is large enough (size+1), then we return
size and not size+1.

Sound reasonable?

(cc'ing Andreas...)

I have to wonder if this is a bug in getfattr. If I do this, then it
works:

    $ getfattr -e text -n ceph.dir.entries .
    # file: .
    ceph.dir.entries="1"

...which makes me think that we're running afoul of
well_enough_printable() in getfattr command.

When I set a "user." xattr to a (short) string, it doesn't include the
null terminator. security.selinux however, does include the NULL
terminating byte in the returned length. I guess though, that it's
returning long enough strings that well_enough_printable returns true.

Andreas, we have a number of "virtual" xattrs in cephfs. When we're
returning xattr values that are strings, should the returned length
include the NULL terminating byte?
