v7:
- checkpatch warnings fixed
- Implement the changes requested by Hugh Dickins:
- make simple_xattrs_init and simple_xattrs_free inline
- get rid of locking and list reinitialization in simple_xattrs_free,
they're not needed
v6:
- no changes
v5:
- no changes
v4:
- move simple_xattrs_free() to fs/xattr.c
v3:
- in kmem_xattrs_free(), reinitialize the list
- use simple_xattr_* prefix
- introduce simple_xattr_add() to prevent direct list usage
