xfs: make attr forks permanent

This series fixes a use-after-free bug that syzbot uncovered.  The UAF
itself is a result of a race condition between getxattr and removexattr
because callers to getxattr do not necessarily take any sort of locks
before calling into the filesystem.

Although the race condition itself can be fixed through clever use of a
memory barrier, further consideration of the use cases of extended
attributes shows that most files always have at least one attribute, so
we might as well make them permanent.

v2: Minor tweaks suggested by Dave, and convert some more macros to
helper functions.
