Subject: metaentry.c: Fix meta entry handling in case of xattr errors.

getxattr() call can fail in mentry_create(), so NULL-initialize
mentry->xattr_values[i] and update mentry->xattrs upon error, so there
is no attempt in mentry_free() to free unitialized xattr_names[i] and
xattr_values[i] pointers.

Fixes #38.

  * BUGFIX: Applying metadata with extended attribute having null byte
            in value zeroed all following bytes of this xattr value.
