[PATCH] f2fs: release a removed xattr node in roll-forward recovery

[Daeho Jeong]

From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@google.com>

When xattrs shrink enough to fit in the inline xattr area,
write_all_xattrs() truncates the xattr node and clears i_xattr_nid. If
the file is then fsynced without a checkpoint, only the inode block is
written, with i_xattr_nid of 0.

Roll-forward recovery starts from the checkpointed inode, whose
i_xattr_nid still points to the old xattr node.
f2fs_recover_inline_xattr() copies only the inline xattr area, and
f2fs_update_inode() writes the old i_xattr_nid back. So the inode keeps
the stale xattr node:

 - The node block is never released, and fsck reports "nonzero bytes in
   xattr space after end of list".
 - If the inline xattr list ends exactly at the end of the inline area,
   its terminator is read from the stale node, and the removed xattrs
   come back after recovery.

When the fsynced inode has no xattr node but the checkpointed one has,
release the old xattr node in the same way as f2fs_recover_xattr_data().
