In cachefiles_check_volume_xattr(), the error returned by vfs_getxattr()
is not passed to ret, so it ends up returning -ESTALE, which leads to an
endless loop as follows:

cachefiles_acquire_volume
retry:
   ret = cachefiles_check_volume_xattr
     ret = -ESTALE
     xlen = vfs_getxattr // return -EIO
     // The ret is not updated when xlen < 0, so -ESTALE is returned.
     return ret
   // Supposed to jump out of the loop at this judgement.
   if (ret != -ESTALE)
       goto error_dir;
   cachefiles_bury_object
     //  EIO causes rename failure
   goto retry;

Hence propagate the error returned by vfs_getxattr() to avoid the above
issue. Do the same in cachefiles_check_auxdata().

It looks good to me,
