e2fsprogs: Fix multiple xattr handling

There is an ordering issue when adding multiple xattr values to
an ext filesystem build using the -d option to mkfs. This patch
fixes that issue. Its been posted for discussion with the upstream
community.

[Message sent to linux-ext4 on 2016/2/7]
I'm using the -d option of mke2fs to construct a filesystem, I'm seeing
that some xattrs are being corrupted. The filesystem builds with no
errors but when mounted by the kernel, I see errors like "security.ima:
No such attribute". The strace from such a failure is:
mmap(NULL, 26258, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x7fdb36a8c000
close(3) = 0
getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, {rlim_cur=1024, rlim_max=64*1024}) = 0
lstat("mnt/foobar", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1, ...}) = 0
listxattr("mnt/foobar", NULL, 0) = 30
listxattr("mnt/foobar", "security.SMACK64\0security.ima\0", 256) = 30
getxattr("mnt/foobar", "security.SMACK64", 0x0, 0) = 1
getxattr("mnt/foobar", "security.SMACK64", "_", 256) = 1
fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 13), ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fdb36a8b000
write(1, "# file: mnt/foobar\n", 19# file: mnt/foobar) = 19
write(1, "security.SMACK64=\"_\"\n", 21security.SMACK64="_") = 21
getxattr("mnt/foobar", "security.ima", 0x0, 0) = -1 ENODATA (No data available)
write(2, "mnt/foobar: ", 12mnt/foobar: ) = 12
write(2, "security.ima: No such attribute\n", 32security.ima: No such attribute) = 32= 32
so the attribute is there but the kernel gives ENODATA when trying
to read it.
http://www.nongnu.org/ext2-doc/ext2.html#CONTRIB-EXTENDED-ATTRIBUTES co
ntains the small snippet that " The entry descriptors are sorted by
attribute name, so that two extended attribute blocks can be compared
efficiently. ". It doesn't specify what kind of sort.
Looking at ext2fs, there is some sorting code through the qsort call
using attr_compare() but it doesn't match what the kernel is doing in
ext4_xattr_find_entry().
This patch fixes the problem.
