The MDS tries to enforce a limit on the total key/values in extended
attributes. However, this limit is enforced only if doing a synchronous
operation (MDS_OP_SETXATTR) -- if we're buffering the xattrs, the MDS
doesn't have a chance to enforce these limits.

This patch forces the usage of the synchronous operation if xattrs size hits
the maximum size that is set on the MDS by default (64k).

While there, fix a dout() that would trigger a printk warning:

[ 98.718078] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 98.719012] precision 65536 too large

The max size is changeable in MDS side. Possibly we should do something as mentioned in your ceph PR [1].

@Jeff, any better idea ?
