This is way too terse. The reason why we can't get an ERANGE error is
because we first call btrfs_getxattr to get the length of the attribute,
then we do a subsequent call with the size from the first call. Between
the 2 calls the size shouldn't change.

Furthermore, I see one more bad practice in this code - the first call
to btrfs_getxattr is not using the value buffer hence it should be
passing NULL to make this obvious, instead it's passing an empty string
form the rodata section.
