Darrick J. Wong 309001c22c xfs: don't leak da state when freeing the attr intent item
kmemleak reported that we lost an xfs_da_state while removing xattrs in
generic/020:

I think this is a consequence of xfs_attr_node_removename_setup
attaching a new da(btree) state to xfs_attr_item and never freeing it.
I /think/ it's the case that the remove paths could detach the da state
earlier in the remove state machine since nothing else accesses the
state.  However, let's future-proof the new xattr code by adding a
catch-all when we free the xfs_attr_item to make sure we never leak the
da state.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
