On the first allocation of a attrd item, xfs_trans_add_item() fires
an assert like so:

 XFS (pmem0): EXPERIMENTAL logged extended attributes feature added. Use at your own risk!
 XFS: Assertion failed: !test_bit(XFS_LI_DIRTY, &lip->li_flags), file: fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c, line: 683
 ------------[ cut here ]------------

The attrd log item is allocated via kmem_cache_alloc, and
xfs_log_item_init() does not zero the entire log item structure - it
assumes that the structure is already all zeros as it only
initialises non-zero fields. Fix the attr items to be allocated
via the *zalloc methods.
