SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] xattr: prevent NULL ptr deref warnings in __simple_xattr_set

Isn't this an actual bug w/ or w/o smatch? Remove request (NULL
@value) w/o XATTR_REPLACE for an non-existent node would end up
calling list_add() on NULL, right? If so, please collapse these two
patches and mention the actual bug instead of smatch warning.

Thanks.
