[RFC] ext4: don't remove already removed extent

From: Muhammad Usama Anjum

Syzbot has hit the following bug on current and all older kernels:
BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in ext4_ext_rm_leaf fs/ext4/extents.c:2736 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: out-of-bounds in ext4_ext_remove_space+0x2482/0x4d90 fs/ext4/extents.c:2958
Read of size 18446744073709551508 at addr ffff888073aea078 by task syz-executor420/6443

On investigation, I've found that eh->eh_entries is zero, ex is
referring to last entry and EXT_LAST_EXTENT(eh) is referring to first.
Hence EXT_LAST_EXTENT(eh) - ex becomes negative and causes the wrong
buffer read.

This patch is only fixing the local issue. There may be bigger bug. Why
is ex set to last entry if the eh->eh_entries is 0. If any ext4
developer want to look at the bug, please don't hesitate.
