[PATCH] ubifs: fix host xattr_len when changing xattr

[Pascal Eberhard]

When an extended attribute is changed, xattr_len of host inode is
recalculated. ui->data_len is updated before computation and result
is wrong. This patch adds a temporary variable to fix computation.

To reproduce the issue:

~# > a.txt
~# attr -s an-attr -V a-value a.txt
~# attr -s an-attr -V a-bit-bigger-value a.txt

Now host inode xattr_len is wrong. Forcing dbg_check_filesystem()
generates the following error:
