[15/18] xfs: fix unit conversion error in xfs_log_calc_max_attrsetm_res

Dave and I were discussing some recent test regressions as a result of
me turning on nrext64=1 on realtime filesystems, when we noticed that
the minimum log size of a 32M filesystem jumped from 954 blocks to 4287
blocks.

Digging through xfs_log_calc_max_attrsetm_res, Dave noticed that @size
contains the maximum estimated amount of space needed for a local format
xattr, in bytes, but we feed this quantity to XFS_NEXTENTADD_SPACE_RES,
which requires units of blocks.  This has resulted in an overestimation
of the minimum log size over the years.

We should nominally correct this, but there's a backwards compatibility
problem -- if we enable it now, the minimum log size will decrease.  If
a corrected mkfs formats a filesystem with this new smaller log size, a
user will encounter mount failures on an uncorrected kernel due to the
larger minimum log size computations there.

However, the large extent counters feature is still EXPERIMENTAL, so we
can gate the correction on that feature (or any features that get added
after that) being enabled.  Any filesystem with nrext64 or any of the
as-yet-undefined feature bits turned on will be rejected by old
uncorrected kernels, so this should be safe even in the upgrade case.
