Re: [syzbot] [hfs?] KMSAN: uninit-value in hfsplus_listxattr

Since the strbuf in hfsplus_listxattr was allocated with kmalloc and filled with hfsplus_uni2asc,
which did not fill "\0" in last byte, in some cases, the uninited byte may be accessed when
compare the strbuf with known namespace. But I still need check the value of xattr in strbuf
to confirm the root cause. Please help test with below debug patch.
