I haven't seen any objections, and it looks reasonable to me so I've
gone ahead and merged it into lsm/next. This is arguably
lsm/stable-6.4 material, but I'm going to stick with lsm/next in hopes
that Roberto can resolve the other reiserfs issue and we can push all
the reiser fixes up to Linus in one shot.
The reality is that LSM xattrs have been broken on reiserfs for a long
time and no one has complained, I figure a few more weeks isn't going
to matter that much.
Regardless, thanks for digging into this syzbot failure and sending a patch.
