Currently ea_buf->xattr buffer is allocated with min(min_size, ea_size).
This is wrong since after the xattr buffer is allocated the ->max_size
variable is actually rounded up to th next ->s_blocksize size. Fix this
by using the rounded up max_size as input to the malloc.

Hello David,
I'm sending you the patch for the issue which was originally reported and
suggested by Shankar. I won't usually got and override the original
author of a patch but given the clear lack of experience with upstream (missing
SOB line, no changelog explaining the change etc) and the
fact there is already a CVE for this issue (using syzkaller for quick CVE
generation seems to be all the rage these days, go figure...) I'd rather have
an upstream, backportable version sooner rather than later.
