Add a check to make sure that the requested xattr node size is no larger
than the eraseblock minus the cleanmarker.

Unlike the usual inode nodes, the xattr nodes aren't split into parts
and spread across multiple eraseblocks, which means that a xattr node
must not occupy more than one eraseblock. If the requested xattr value is
too large, the xattr node can spill onto the next eraseblock, overwriting
the nodes and causing errors such as:

jffs2: argh. node added in wrong place at 0x0000b050(2)
jffs2: nextblock 0x0000a000, expected at 0000b00c
jffs2: error: (823) do_verify_xattr_datum: node CRC failed at 0x01e050,
read=0xfc892c93, calc=0x000000
jffs2: notice: (823) jffs2_get_inode_nodes: Node header CRC failed
at 0x01e00c. {848f,2fc4,0fef511f,59a3d171}
jffs2: Node at 0x0000000c with length 0x00001044 would run over the
end of the erase block
jffs2: Perhaps the file system was created with the wrong erase size?
jffs2: jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found
at 0x00000010: 0x1044 instead

This breaks the filesystem and can lead to KASAN crashes such as:

<title>jffs2: reduce stack usage in jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem()</title>

Use kcalloc() for allocation/flush of 128 pointers table to
reduce stack usage.

Function now returns -ENOMEM or 0 on success.

stackusage
Before:
./fs/jffs2/xattr.c:775  jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem     1208
dynamic,bounded

After:
./fs/jffs2/xattr.c:775  jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem     192
dynamic,bounded

Also update definition when CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_XATTR is not enabled

Tested with an MTD mount point and some user set/getfattr.

Many current target on OpenWRT also suffer from a compilation warning
(that become an error with CONFIG_WERROR) with the following output:

fs/jffs2/xattr.c: In function 'jffs2_build_xattr_subsystem':
fs/jffs2/xattr.c:887:1: error: the frame size of 1088 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
  887 | }
      | ^

Using dynamic allocation fix this compilation warning.

The ext{2,4}, erofs, f2fs, and jffs2 filesystems use the same logic to
check whether a given xattr can be listed. Simplify them and avoid
open-coding the same check by calling the helper we introduced earlier.

Remove struct posix_acl_{access,default}_handler for all filesystems
that don't depend on the xattr handler in their inode-&gt;i_op-&gt;listxattr()
method in any way. There's nothing more to do than to simply remove the
handler. It's been effectively unused ever since we introduced the new
posix acl api.

Change the list operation to only return whether or not an attribute
should be listed.  Copying the attribute names into the buffer is moved
to the callers.

Since the result only depends on the dentry and not on the attribute
name, we do not pass the attribute name to list operations.

<title>xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags</title>

<content type='text'>
The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example.  In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix.  To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "Common MTD:

   - Add Kconfig option for keeping both the 'master' and 'partition'
     MTDs registered as devices.  This would really make a better
     default if we could do it over, as it allows a lot more flexibility
     in (1) determining the flash topology of the system from user-space
     and (2) adding temporary partitions at runtime (ioctl(BLKPG)).

     Unfortunately, this would possibly cause user-space breakage, as it
     will cause renumbering of the /dev/mtdX devices.  We'll see if we
     can change this in the future, as there have already been a few
     people looking for this feature, and I know others have just been
     working around our current limitations instead of fixing them this
     way.

   - Along with the previous change, add some additional information to
     sysfs, so user-space can read the offset of each partition within
     its master device

  SPI NOR:

   - add new device tree compatible binding to represent the
     mostly-compatible class of SPI NOR flash which can be detected by
     their extended JEDEC ID bytes, cutting down the duplication of our
     ID tables

   - misc.  new IDs

  Various other miscellaneous fixes and changes"
