fs/ntfs3: validate the EA value length in ntfs_read_ea()

ntfs_read_ea() checks the $EA list for consistency, but it only
recomputes the packed size of an entry when the entry's own size field is
zero:

	for (off = 0; off < size; off += ea_size) {
		const struct EA_FULL *ef = Add2Ptr(ea_p, off);
		u32 bytes = size - off;
		...
		if (ef->size) {
			ea_size = le32_to_cpu(ef->size);
			if (ea_size > bytes)
				goto out1;
			continue;              /* <- elength never checked */
		}
		...
		ea_size = ALIGN(struct_size(ef, name,
					    1 + ef->name_len +
						    le16_to_cpu(ef->elength)),
				4);
		if (ea_size > bytes)
			goto out1;
	}

ef->size is non-zero for every entry except the last one, and it is what
ntfs3 itself writes (ntfs_set_ea() stores exactly that aligned packed
size), so in practice elength is not validated at all.  find_ea() then
uses unpacked_ea_size(), which also prefers ea->size when it is set, so
it agrees and hands the entry back.

ntfs_get_ea() copies elength bytes with no further bound of its own:

	len = le16_to_cpu(ea->elength);
	...
	if (len > size) {              /* size is the *caller's* buffer */
		err = -ERANGE;
		...
	}
	memcpy(buffer, ea->name + ea->name_len + 1, len);

so a caller that supplies a large enough buffer receives up to 64 KiB of
whatever follows the small $EA allocation -- straight to userspace via
getxattr(2).

Compute the packed size unconditionally and require it to fit in the
entry.  Hoist the "bytes < offsetof(struct EA_FULL, name)" test above the
ef->size branch as well: name_len and elength were being read there
without it, which is itself a small over-read of the kmalloc'd buffer
when fewer than 8 bytes are left.  The old "bytes < sizeof(ef->size)"
test is subsumed by it.

  # mkntfs image; create /mnt/ntfs/poc with user.ntfs6 set, then rewrite
  # that EA_FULL's elength from 0xf to 0xff00 on the raw device
  mount -t ntfs3 -o ro /dev/vda /mnt/ntfs
  getxattr("/mnt/ntfs/poc", "user.ntfs6", buf, 128 * 1024);

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_get_ea+0x294/0x3e0

   ntfs_read_ea+0x1e4/0x420
   ntfs_get_ea+0x2c8/0x3e0
  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0000cca53a80
   which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96

The object being over-read is the one ntfs_read_ea() just allocated, and
it is 96 bytes.

Entries written by ntfs3 and by Windows set size to the aligned packed
size, so the new test does not reject anything a working filesystem
produces.
