ext4: validate ea_ino and size in check_xattrs

Browse Source 
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.
