ntfs: validate attribute name bounds before returning it
ntfs_attr_find() validates a named attribute before comparing it with the
requested name, but that check is currently after the AT_UNUSED handling.
When callers enumerate attributes with AT_UNUSED, ntfs_attr_find() can
return a malformed named attribute before checking whether name_offset
and name_length stay within the attribute record.
Some enumeration callers use the returned attribute name pointer
directly. For example, one path passes (attr + name_offset, name_length)
to ntfs_attr_iget(), where the name can later be copied according to
name_length. A malformed on-disk name_offset/name_length pair should not
be exposed to those callers.
Move the existing name bounds validation before returning attributes
during AT_UNUSED enumeration, and write it as an offset/remaining-size
check so the subtraction cannot underflow. Extract the converted values
into local variables (name_offset, attr_len, name_size) to make the
intent explicit and avoid repeating the endian conversions inside the
bounds check. This keeps matching attributes on the same checked path
while also covering attribute enumeration.
A small userspace ASAN model with attr length=32, name_offset=124 and
name_length=8 reproduces a heap-buffer-overflow read in the old
enumeration path. With this change the same malformed attribute is
rejected before the name pointer is returned to the caller.
