Directories with a larger number of files using extended file attributes
(xattrs) break --long formatting of ls.
## Reproduce
1. Create the directory:
mkdir -p /tmp/uutils-ls-xattr-repro
cd /tmp/uutils-ls-xattr-repro
2. Create the files:
for i in $(seq -w 1 500); do
touch "file-$i"
setfattr -n user.test -v 'Hello World' "file-$i"
done
3. List the directory:
ls -l .
4. Output:
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 bamf0 bamf0 0 May 27 09:35 file-001[K
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 bamf0 bamf0 0 May 27 09:35 file-002[K
-rw-rw-r--+ 1 bamf0 bamf0 0 May 27 09:35 file-003[K
(Every file attribute after the permissions will be right-aligned)
