David Rientjes 4338584696 fs, xattr: fix bug when removing a name not in xattr list
Commit 38f3865744 ("xattr: extract simple_xattr code from tmpfs") moved
some code from tmpfs but introduced a subtle bug along the way.

If the name passed to simple_xattr_remove() does not exist in the list of
xattrs, then it is possible to call kfree(new_xattr) when new_xattr is
actually initialized to itself on the stack via uninitialized_var().

This causes a BUG() since the memory was not allocated via the slab
allocator and was not bypassed through to the page allocator because it
was too large.

Initialize the local variable to NULL so the kfree() never takes place.
