[PATCH] Introduce vfs_listxattr

[Josef Sipek <jsipek@fsl.cs.sunysb.edu>]

From: Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>

This patch moves code out of fs/xattr.c:listxattr into a new function -
vfs_listxattr. The code for vfs_listxattr was originally submitted by Bill
Nottingham <notting@redhat.com> to Unionfs.

Signed-off-by: Josef "Jeff" Sipek <jsipek@cs.sunysb.edu>
