[LU-7899] osd_xattr_set() to batch actual EA update

• Type: Improvement
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.10.1, Lustre 2.11.0
• Assignee: Alex Zhuravlev
• Reporter: Alex Zhuravlev

Description

moving EAs from nvlist into bonus/spill is quite expensive, we can save on this a bit collecting changes in nvlist (what we do already) and calling sa_update() from osd_trans_stop().
