The problem is that each filesystem has a function that collects the
xattr names. These functions only return the needed size if size==0 and
don't write anything into a buffer. If the buffer is empty or there is
no buffer, I have nothing to remap and calculate size for. So I pass a
buffer large enough to hold the xattr names to the filesystem functions
so I can then subsequently walk the xattrs and remap them. The remapping
only needs to be done in non-init_user_ns since there the uid parts
(@uid=1000) may need to be rewritten and most importantly, the size of
the needed buffer can increase, depending on how the uid mappings are.
I don't want to extend every filesystem's xattr name gathering function...
