From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@huawei.com>

In cachefiles_check_volume_xattr(), the error returned by vfs_getxattr is
not passed to ret, so it ends up returning -ESTALE, which leads to an
endless loop as follows:

cachefiles_acquire_volume
retry:
  cachefiles_check_volume_xattr
  // return -ESTALE
  cachefiles_bury_object
  //  EIO causes rename failure
  goto retry;

So pass the error code to ret when xlen < 0 to avoid the above problem.

Fixes: 32e150037dce ("fscache, cachefiles: Store the volume coherency data")
