NFSv4.2: fix listxattr maximum XDR buffer size

[ Upstream commit bcac8bff ]

Switch order of operations to avoid creating a short XDR buffer:
e.g., buflen = 12, old xdrlen = 12, new xdrlen = 20.

Having a short XDR buffer leads to lxa_maxcount be a few bytes
less than what is needed to retrieve the whole list when using
a buflen as returned by a call with size = 0:
    buflen = listxattr(path, NULL, 0);
    buf = malloc(buflen);
    buflen = listxattr(path, buf, buflen);

For a file with one attribute (name = '123456'), the first call
with size = 0 will return buflen = 12 ('user.123456\x00').
The second call with size = 12, sends LISTXATTRS with
lxa_maxcount = 12 + 8 (cookie) + 4 (array count) = 24. The
XDR buffer needs 8 (cookie) + 4 (array count) + 4 (name count)
+ 6 (name len) + 2 (padding) + 4 (eof) = 28 which is 4 bytes
shorter than the lxa_maxcount provided in the call.
