ceph: fix memory leak in __ceph_setxattr()



The ceph_inode_xattr needs to be released when removing an xattr.  Easily
reproducible running the 'generic/020' test from xfstests or simply by
doing:

  attr -s attr0 -V 0 /mnt/test && attr -r attr0 /mnt/test

While there, also fix the error path.

Here's the kmemleak splat:

unreferenced object 0xffff88001f86fbc0 (size 64):
  comm "attr", pid 244, jiffies 4294904246 (age 98.464s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
