[PATCH] ext4: validate xattr entries in ext4_xattr_move_to_block

[Deepanshu Kartikey]

During inode expansion, ext4_xattr_move_to_block() processes xattr entries
from on-disk structures without validating their integrity. Corrupted
filesystems may contain xattr entries where e_value_size is zero but
e_value_inum is non-zero, indicating the entry claims to store its value
in a separate inode but has no actual value.

This corruption pattern leads to a WARNING in ext4_xattr_block_set() when
it encounters i->value_len of zero while i->in_inode is set, violating
the function's invariant that in-inode xattrs must have non-zero length.

Add validation in ext4_xattr_move_to_block() to detect this specific
corruption pattern and return -EFSCORRUPTED, preventing the invalid
data from propagating to downstream functions and causing warnings.
