Once we've assembled all the parent pointers for a file, we need to
commit the new dataset atomically to that file. Parent pointer records
are embedded in the xattr structure, which means that we must write a
new extended attribute structure, again, atomically. Therefore, we must
copy the non-parent-pointer attributes from the file being repaired into
the temporary file's extended attributes and then call the atomic extent
swap mechanism to exchange the blocks.

If the extended attributes look bad, try to sift through the rubble to
find whatever keys/values we can, stage a new attribute structure in a
temporary file and use the atomic extent swapping mechanism to commit
the results in bulk.
