Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 50/59] filename_...xattr(): don't consume filename reference

Callers switched to CLASS(filename_maybe_null) (in fs/xattr.c)
and CLASS(filename_complete_delayed) (in io_uring/xattr.c).

Experimental calling conventions change; with the existing
infrastructure it does not inconvenience the callers, at least
for these ones...

Might be worth doing the same to do_renameat2() and friends.
