xfs: can't use kmem_zalloc() for attribute buffers



Because heap allocation of 64kB buffers will fail:

I'd use kvmalloc() instead, but....

.... this is just yet another reminder of how much kvmalloc() sucks.
So lift xlog_cil_kvmalloc(), rename it to xlog_kvmalloc() and use
that instead....

We also clean up the attribute name and value lengths as they no
longer need to be rounded out to sizes compatible with log vectors.
