simple_xattr: permit 0-size extended attributes

If a filesystem uses simple_xattr to support user extended attributes,
LTP setxattr01 and xfstests generic/062 fail with "Cannot allocate
memory": simple_xattr_alloc()'s wrap-around test mistakenly excludes
values of zero size.  Fix that off-by-one (but apparently no filesystem
needs them yet).
