Bug description:
[Impact]
A memory leak may happen when an error happens when setting extended
attributes.
[Fix]
The issue was introduced by an improper backport, so the fix is specific to
Ubuntu, so a SAUCE patch.
[Test case]
Test setting attribute under a user namespace.
[Regression potential]
A double free bug might be introduced. Or setting extended attributes might
fail.
