Subject: [PATCH 4.4 123/137] ovl: allow zero size xattr

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <miklos@...redi.hu>

commit 97daf8b97ad6f913a34c82515be64dc9ac08d63e upstream.

When ovl_copy_xattr() encountered a zero size xattr no more xattrs were
copied and the function returned success.  This is clearly not the desired
behavior.
