Subject: [PATCH 3.2 019/164] btrfs: don't accept bare namespace as a valid
 xattr

3.2.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Sterba <dsterba@...e.cz>

commit 3c3b04d10ff1811a27f86684ccd2f5ba6983211d upstream.

Due to insufficient check in btrfs_is_valid_xattr, this unexpectedly
works:

 $ touch file
 $ setfattr -n user. -v 1 file
 $ getfattr -d file
user.="1"

ie. the missing attribute name after the namespace.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: XATTR_BTRFS_PREFIX is not supported]
