Subject: [PATCH v12 bpf-next 1/5] fs/xattr: bpf: Introduce security.bpf. xattr name prefix

Introduct new xattr name prefix security.bpf., and enable reading these
xattrs from bpf kfuncs bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr().

As we are on it, correct the comments for return value of
bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr(), i.e. return length the xattr value on
success.
