Log:
  ufs/extattr.h: Fix documentation of ea_name termination

  The ea_name string is not nul-terminated.  Correct the documentation.

  Because the subsequent field is padded to 8 bytes, and the padding is
  zeroed, the ea_name string will appear to be nul-terminated whenever the
  length isn't exactly one (mod eight).

  This was introduced in r167010 (2007).

  Additionally, mark the length fields as unsigned.  This particularly
  matters for the single byte ea_namelength field, which can represent
  extended attribute names up to 255 bytes long.

  No functional change.
