[SRU Xenial, bionic/linux-hwe, focal/linux-oem-5.6 0/1] setting extended attribute may cause memory leak

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924611

[Impact]
A memory leak may happen when an error happens when setting extended
attributes.

[Fix]
The issue was introduced by an improper backport, so the fix is specific to
Ubuntu, so a SAUCE patch.

[Test case]
Test setting attribute under a user namespace.

[Regression potential]
A double free bug might be introduced. Or setting extended attributes might
fail.
