REVISION SUMMARY
  The attrib is a DWORD (32 bit unsigned int) in the Windows APIs (see
  WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA), and exported as a 4 byte array by ntfs-3g.
  As the size is known, there is no need to query it. As each file has
  the "archive" flag set on creation, i.e. the first getxattr call typically
  never returns 0, this cuts the number of syscalls by half.
  
  Skip the temporary hex encoding of the value, it is pointless to hex-
  encode the value and immediately after parse it again.

TEST PLAN
  1. touch foo
  2. getfattr -n system.ntfs_attrib_be -e hex foo
  3. dolphin ./
  4. setfattr -n system.ntfs_attrib_be -v 0x00000022
  5. refresh dolphin
