Fix a minor bug where we fail repairs on metadata files that do not have attr forks because xrep_metadata_inode_subtype doesn't filter ENOENT.

Why is a bugfix / stable-tagged-patch, number 20 in a 29 patch series? Why isn't it first, or better yet, on it's own if it is fixing a bug that people want merged "soon"?
