Hugh Dickins 5de75970c9 xattr: simple_xattr_set() return old_xattr to be freed
tmpfs wants to support limited user extended attributes, but kernfs
(or cgroupfs, the only kernfs with KERNFS_ROOT_SUPPORT_USER_XATTR)
already supports user extended attributes through simple xattrs: but
limited by a policy (128KiB per inode) too liberal to be used on tmpfs.

To allow a different limiting policy for tmpfs, without affecting the
policy for kernfs, change simple_xattr_set() to return the replaced or
removed xattr (if any), leaving the caller to update their accounting
then free the xattr (by simple_xattr_free(), renamed from the static
free_simple_xattr()).
