ext4: validate ea_ino and size in check_xattrs
commit 44d2a72f upstream. During xattr block validation, check_xattrs() processes xattr entries without validating that entries claiming to use EA inodes have non-zero sizes. Corrupted filesystems may contain xattr entries where e_value_size is zero but e_value_inum is non-zero, indicating invalid xattr data. Add validation in check_xattrs() to detect this corruption pattern early and return -EFSCORRUPTED, preventing invalid xattr entries from causing issues throughout the ext4 codebase.
