Function ubifs_evict_xattr_inode() is imported by commit 272eda8298dc ("ubifs: Correctly evict xattr inodes") to reclaim xattr inode when the host inode is deleted. The xattr inode is evicted in the host inode deleting process since commit 7959cf3a7506 ("ubifs: journal: Handle xattrs like files"). So the ineffective function ubifs_evict_xattr_inode() can be deleted safely.
