[PATCH 4.1 054/102] xfs: Fix xfs_attr_leafblock definition

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.com>

commit ffeecc5213024ae663377b442eedcfbacf6d0c5d upstream.

struct xfs_attr_leafblock contains 'entries' array which is declared
with size 1 altough it can in fact contain much more entries. Since this
array is followed by further struct members, gcc (at least in version
4.8.3) thinks that the array has the fixed size of 1 element and thus
may optimize away all accesses beyond the end of array resulting in
non-working code. This problem was only observed with userspace code in
xfsprogs, however it's better to be safe in kernel as well and have
matching kernel and xfsprogs definitions.
