Hm. I see a bunch of cleanup possibilities for after this series...

xfs_attr_shortform_remove
xfs_attr_leaf_removename
xfs_attr_node_remove_name

Can you add a patch to the end of the series renaming these to
xfs_attr_{sf,leaf,node}_removename or something?

Also, can you refactor the chunk of code under "Remove the name and
update the hashvals in the tree" in
xfs_attr_node_addname_clear_incomplete to use xfs_attr_node_remove_name?

(Separate cleanup patches at the end of the series would be appreciated.)

"Callers should keep calling this routine until it returns something
other than -EAGAIN."

Also, that should go in the comment above the function.
