9p: xattr: Fix crashes due to free of uninitialized value

If the size returned from llistxattr/lgetxattr is 0, we skipped
the malloc call, leaving xattr.value uninitialized. However, this
value is later passed to `g_free` without any further checks,
causing an error. Fix that by always calling g_malloc unconditionally.
If `size` is 0, it will return NULL, which is safe to pass to g_free.
