[PATCH] xfs_repair: properly detect reserved attribute names

This function in xfs_repair tries to make sure that if an attr
name reserved for acls exists in the root namespace, then its
value is a valid acl.
However, because it only compares up to the length of the
reserved name, superstrings may match and cause false positive
xfs_repair errors.
Ensure that both the length and the content match before
flagging it as an error.
