We have several virtual xattrs in cephfs which return various values as strings. xattrs don't necessarily return strings however, so we need to include the terminating NULL byte when we return the length. Furthermore, the getxattr manpage says that we should return -ERANGE if the buffer is too small to hold the resulting value. Let's start doing that here as well.
