Subject: Use user-provided Listxattr buffer size

This huge buffer showed up big time in ./profiling/ls.bash
and caused a 2x LS benchmark slowdown.

Instead of the fixed-size buffer, use the buffer size
hint the user has provided us.

We return inaccurate (larger than actual, which should be safe)
numbers when the user has provided no buffer (size probe).
