[PATCH v3 2/4] ext4: allocate extended attribute value in vmalloc area

[Ye Bin]

From: Ye Bin <yebin10@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now, extended attribute value maximum length is 64K. The memory requested
here does not need continuous physical addresses, so it is appropriate to
use kvmalloc to request memory. At the same time, it can also cope with
the situation that the extended attribute will become longer in the future.
