[ Upstream commit bd3138e8912c9db182eac5fed1337645a98b7a4f ]

In debugging other problems with generic/753, it turns out that it's
possible for the system go to down in the middle of a remote xattr set
operation such that the leaf block entry is marked incomplete and
valueblk is set to zero. Make this no longer a failure.
