change MIGHT_NEED_RPRE to am_root <= 0

$ ./rsync -v
rsync  version 3.1.3dev  protocol version 31

I've built with HAVE_LINUX_XATTRS 
I'm running rsyncd as a non root user. 

the args I'm sending rsyncd when connecting are 
 {"--server", "--filter", "+x jk", "-X", ".", ".", "\0"};
code snippets are from xattrs.c

in receive_xattr a name is read from the sender. The name might need to be
prefixed depending on am_root. To make room for this prefix extra_len is
possibly allocated. 

 818         size_t extra_len = MIGHT_NEED_RPRE ? RPRE_LEN : 0;

 822         ptr = new_array(char, dget_len + extra_len + name_len); <-- the
length values are received from the sender. In this case I'm sending dget_len =
0

  61 #ifdef HAVE_LINUX_XATTRS
  62 #define MIGHT_NEED_RPRE (am_root < 0)

The issue is that am_root < 0 isn't the only time that a prefix might be
prepended to name. If we're running as a normal user (am_root == 0) and the
sender has sent a filter with an xattr filter then the prefix will also be
prepended. 

 840 #ifdef HAVE_LINUX_XATTRS
 841         /* Non-root can only save the user namespace. */
 842         if (am_root <= 0 && !HAS_PREFIX(name, USER_PREFIX)) {
 843             if (!am_root && !saw_xattr_filter) {
 844                 free(ptr);
 845                 continue;
 846             }
 847             name -= RPRE_LEN;
 848             name_len += RPRE_LEN;
 849             memcpy(name, RSYNC_PREFIX, RPRE_LEN);
 850             need_sort = 1;
 851         }

Since there wasn't any extra_len allocated name -= RPRE_LEN can point before
the buffer causing a heap overwrite. 

The patch I've attached changes MIGHT_NEED_RPRE (am_root <= 0) since the only
time we might add a prefix is when we're not root.
