xfs: fix a UAF problem in xattr repair

Browse source

commit 5990fd7569 upstream.

The xchk_setup_xattr_buf function can allocate a new value buffer, which
means that any reference to ab->value before the call could become a
dangling pointer.  Fix this by moving an assignment to after the buffer
setup.
