The casting here is predicated on the compatibility of these two structs
and I'm kinda surprised to see no static assertions about their layout.
So I would recommend to add some to the header:

I think the return value situation of these two helper is a bit
confusing. So if they return the size or a negative error pointer the
return value of both functions should likely be ssize_t.
But unless you actually later use the size in the callers of these
helpers it would be easier to just stick with 0 on success, negative
errno on failure. Note that that's what vfs_caps_from_xattr() is doing.
I'll see whether that becomes relevant later in the series though.
