If I understand right, ops[i].am_error is used to save the internal operation result,
i.e, xfs_attrmult_attr_get{set}... but error is used for the ioctl call results.
Therefore, assign ERANGE to error is compatible with the VFS set{get}xattr syscalls in
case of "if (ops[i].am_error == 0 || ops[i].am_error == MAXNAMELEN)".

It seems that we don't need to have a break in this case because xfs_attrmulti_by_handle()
is used to process multiple attrs. Hence if a given attrname in ops array is invalid,
the am_error will indicate that with ENOATTR or EFAULT...but it should proceed to loop
through the left array members.

Also, looks there is another minor issue at xfs_attrmulti_attr_set(), we should return
-PTR_ERR(kbuf) if call memdup_user() failed.
