[Impact]

ocfs2: remove entry once instead of null-ptr-dereference in ocfs2_xa_remove()

Modify error-handling logic in ocfs2_xa_remove() to ensure that the
xattr entry is removed only once, preventing the NULL pointer
dereference.

Noble: Cherry pick from upstream
Jammy: Fixed via upstream stable updates (LP: #2089533)
Focal: Fixed via upstream stable updates (LP: #2089558)
Bionic: Sent to ESM ML

patch
