d_splice_alias(NULL, dentry) is equivalent to d_add(dentry, NULL), NULL
so no need for that if (inode) ... in there (or ERR_PTR(0), for that
matter)

Handle the rare case where a directory metadata block is uncompressed and
corrupted, leading to a kernel oops in directory scanning (memcpy).
Normally corruption is detected at the decompression stage and dealt with
then, however, this will not happen if:
- metadata isn't compressed (users can optionally request no metadata
compression), or
- the compressed metadata block was larger than the original, in which
case the uncompressed version was used, or
- the data was corrupt after decompression
This patch fixes this by adding some sanity checks against known maximum
values.

Add new extended inode types that store the xattr_id field.
Also add the necessary code changes to make xattrs visibile.

Move zlib buffer init/destroy code into separate wrapper file. Also
make zlib z_stream field a void * removing the need to include zlib.h
for most files.
