Luis Henriques eeca958dce 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):

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
