ceph: prevent a client from exceeding the MDS maximum xattr size



The MDS tries to enforce a limit on the total key/values in extended
attributes.  However, this limit is enforced only if doing a synchronous
operation (MDS_OP_SETXATTR) -- if we're buffering the xattrs, the MDS
doesn't have a chance to enforce these limits.

This patch adds support for decoding the xattrs maximum size setting that is
distributed in the mdsmap.  Then, when setting an xattr, the kernel client
will revert to do a synchronous operation if that maximum size is exceeded.

While there, fix a dout() that would trigger a printk warning:
