fs/ntfs3: validate EA entry layout against ef->size in ntfs_read_ea

In ntfs_read_ea(), the ef->size branch only checks that the declared
entry size fits the remaining buffer; unlike the zero-size branch it
never verifies that the entry's own name and value fit inside ef->size.
A crafted image can thus present an in-bounds ef->size with an arbitrary
elength, which find_ea()/ntfs_get_ea() later use as the memcpy length,
reading past the allocation and leaking adjacent heap memory:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_get_ea (fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:302)
  Read of size 65535 at addr ffff888010770b0f by task exploit/142
   ...

   path_getxattrat (fs/xattr.c:876)
   do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94)
  ...
  The buggy address is located 15 bytes inside of
   allocated 20-byte region, cache kmalloc-32

Validate the name/value layout in the ef->size branch too, bounding it
against ef->size, as the zero-size branch validates it against the
buffer.
