xfs: annotate struct xfs_attr_list_context with __counted_by_ptr

Add the `__counted_by_ptr` attribute to the `buffer` field of `struct
xfs_attr_list_context`. This field is used to point to a buffer of
size `bufsize`.

The `buffer` field is assigned in:
1. `xfs_ioc_attr_list` in `fs/xfs/xfs_handle.c`
2. `xfs_xattr_list` in `fs/xfs/xfs_xattr.c`
3. `xfs_getparents` in `fs/xfs/xfs_handle.c` (implicitly initialized to NULL)

In `xfs_ioc_attr_list`, `buffer` was assigned before `bufsize`. Reorder
them to ensure `bufsize` is set before `buffer` is assigned, although
no access happens between them.

In `xfs_xattr_list`, `buffer` was assigned before `bufsize`. Reorder
them to ensure `bufsize` is set before `buffer` is assigned.

In `xfs_getparents`, `buffer` is NULL (from zero initialization) and
remains NULL. `bufsize` is set to a non-zero value, but since `buffer`
is NULL, no access occurs.

In all cases, the pointer `buffer` is not accessed before `bufsize` is set.

Tested by running xfstests.
