Alan Huang 6846100b00 bcachefs: Remove incorrect __counted_by annotation
This actually reverts 86e92eeeb2 ("bcachefs: Annotate struct bch_xattr
with __counted_by()").

After the x_name, there is a value. According to the disscussion[1],
__counted_by assumes that the flexible array member contains exactly
the amount of elements that are specified. Now there are users came across
a false positive detection of an out of bounds write caused by
the __counted_by here[2], so revert that.
