[RFC 1/2] erofs: update on-disk format for xattr bloom filter

The xattr bloom filter feature is going to be introduced to speed up the
negative xattr lookup, e.g. system.posix_acl_[access|default] lookup
when running "ls -lR" workload.

The number of common used xattr (n) is approximately 8, including
system.[posix_acl_access|posix_acl_default], security.[capability|selinux]
and security.[SMACK64|SMACK64TRANSMUTE|SMACK64EXEC|SMACK64MMAP].  Given the
number of bits of the bloom filter (m) is 32, the optimal value for the
number of the hash functions (k) is 2 (ln2 * m/n = 2.7).
