Christian Brauner b6d6ab1b6d xattr,net: support limited amount of extended attributes on sockfs sockets
Now that we've generalized the infrastructure for user.* xattrs make it
possible to set up to 128 user.* extended attributes on a sockfs inode
or up to 128kib. kernfs (cgroupfs) has the same limits and it has proven
to be quite sufficient for nearly all use-cases.

This will allow containers to label sockets and will e.g., be used by
systemd and Gnome to find various sockets in containers where
high-privilege or more complicated solutions aren't available.
