commit b3f4e84e2f438a119b7ca8684a25452b3e57c0f0 upstream.

Just like xfs_attr3_leaf_split, xfs_attr_node_try_addname can return
-ENOSPC both for an actual failure to allocate a disk block, but also
to signal the caller to convert the format of the attr fork.  Use magic
1 to ask for the conversion here as well.

Note that unlike the similar issue in xfs_attr3_leaf_split, this one was
only found by code review.
