Thanks for the report and the fix but I think it is actually wrong.  We
cannot just change EXT4_XATTR_SIZE_MAX because there may be already
filesystems with this large extended attributes and we'd be suddently
unable to read them. So a better fix would be to use kvmalloc() to allocate
the memory which is able to accommodate arbitrary allocation size.

Arguably, even better might be to make ext4_xattr_move_to_block() more
clever because currently it loads attribute into memory from the inode only
to store it there again. We could just create xattr entry in the block and
be done with it. But it will be more complex and maybe it's not worth it...
