ocfs2/xattr: Proper hash collision handle in bucket division



In ocfs2/xattr, we must make sure the xattrs which have the same hash value
exist in the same bucket so that the search schema can work. But in the old
implementation, when we want to extend a bucket, we just move half number of
xattrs to the new bucket. This works in most cases, but if we are lucky
enough we will move 2 xattrs into 2 different buckets. This means that an
xattr from the previous bucket cannot be found anymore. This patch fix this
problem by finding the right position during extending the bucket and extend
an empty bucket if needed.
