When hfsplus_uni2asc is called from hfsplus_listxattr, it actually passes in a struct hfsplus_attr_unistr*. The size of the corresponding structure is different from that of hfsplus_unistr, so the previous fix (94458781aee6) is insufficient. The pointer on the unicode buffer is still going beyond the allocated memory.
This patch introduces two warpper functions hfsplus_uni2asc_xattr_str and hfsplus_uni2asc_str to process two unicode buffers, struct hfsplus_attr_unistr and struct hfsplus_unistr respectively. When ustrlen value is bigger than the allocated memory size, the ustrlen value is limited to an safe size.
