[RFC PATCH v3] ceph: prevent a client from exceeding the MDS maximum xattr size

The MDS tries to enforce a limit on the total key/values in extended
attributes. However, this limit is enforced only if doing a synchronous
operation (MDS_OP_SETXATTR) -- if we're buffering the xattrs, the MDS
doesn't have a chance to enforce these limits.

This patch adds support for decoding the xattrs maximum size setting that is
distributed in the mdsmap. Then, when setting an xattr, the kernel client
will revert to do a synchronous operation if that maximum size is exceeded.

While there, fix a dout() that would trigger a printk warning:

[ 98.718078] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 98.719012] precision 65536 too large
[ 98.719039] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3755 at lib/vsprintf.c:2703 vsnprintf+0x5e3/0x600

* Changes since v2

Well, a lot has changed since v2! Now the xattr max value setting is
obtained through the mdsmap, which needs to be decoded, and the feature
that was used in the previous revision was dropped. The drawback is that
the MDS isn't unable to know in advance if a client is aware of this xattr
max value.

* Changes since v1

Added support for new feature bit to get the MDS max_xattr_pairs_size
setting.

Also note that this patch relies on a patch that hasn't been merged yet
("ceph: use correct index when encoding client supported features"),
otherwise the new feature bit won't be correctly encoded.
