        sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_extattr.c: revision 1.39
Return ENODATA when no attribute is found, like Linux does. After
all we decided to adopt the Linux API, therefore there is rationale
to stick to it.
No standard tells us what to do, and our extended attribute API has not
been used in a release, therefore we do not break anything, and we get
more easily compatible with programs using the Linux extended attribute
API.
Note that FreeBSD and MacOS X return ENOATTR. FreeBSD has its own API
and MacOS X has a Linux-like API. How did the world get so complicated?
