erofs: zero out when listxattr is called with no xattr

commit 926d1650 upstream.

As David reported [1], ENODATA returns when attempting
to modify files by using EROFS as an overlayfs lower layer.

The root cause is that listxattr could return unexpected
-ENODATA by mistake for inodes without xattr. That breaks
listxattr return value convention and it can cause copy
up failure when used with overlayfs.

Resolve by zeroing out if no xattr is found for listxattr.
