cachefiles: propagate errors from vfs_getxattr() to avoid infinite loop

Browse Source 
In cachefiles_check_volume_xattr(), the error returned by vfs_getxattr()
is not passed to ret, so it ends up returning -ESTALE, which leads to an
endless loop as follows:

cachefiles_acquire_volume
retry:
  ret = cachefiles_check_volume_xattr
    ret = -ESTALE
    xlen = vfs_getxattr // return -EIO
    // The ret is not updated when xlen < 0, so -ESTALE is returned.
    return ret
  // Supposed to jump out of the loop at this judgement.
  if (ret != -ESTALE)
      goto error_dir;
  cachefiles_bury_object
    //  EIO causes rename failure
  goto retry;

Hence propagate the error returned by vfs_getxattr() to avoid the above
issue. Do the same in cachefiles_check_auxdata().
