ceph: don't null-terminate xattr values
For some reason, ceph_setxattr() allocates an extra byte in which a '\0' is stored past the end of an extended attribute value. This is not needed, and is potentially misleading, so get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@dreamhost.com> Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
