Yeah, there's no way currently that any of those variables should get even
close to that large. I made them unsigned ints with the patch below.

ocfs2: use smaller counters in ocfs2_remove_xattr_clusters_from_cache

i and b_len don't really need to be u64's. Xattr extent lengths should be
limited by the VFS, and then the size of our on-disk length field.
