Bug description:
  [Impact]
  A memory leak may happen when an error happens when setting extended attributes.

  [Fix]
  The issue was introduced by an improper backport, so the fix is specific to Ubuntu, so a SAUCE patch.

  [Test case]
  Test setting attribute under a user namespace.

  [Regression potential]
  A double free bug might be introduced. Or setting extended attributes might fail.
