xfs: remote attribute allocation may be contiguous
When CRCs are enabled, there may be multiple allocations made if the headers cause a length overflow. This, however, does not mean that the number of headers required increases, as the second and subsequent extents may be contiguous with the previous extent. Hence when we map the extents to write the attribute data, we may end up with less extents than allocations made. Hence the assertion that we consume the number of headers we calculated in the allocation loop is incorrect and needs to be removed.
