ext4: correctly handle a zero-length xattr with a non-zero e_value_offs

CVE-2018-10840

Ext4 will always create ext4 extended attributes which do not have a
value (where e_value_size is zero) with e_value_offs set to zero.  In
most places e_value_offs will not be used in a substantive way if
e_value_size is zero.

There was one exception to this, which is in ext4_xattr_set_entry(),
where if there is a maliciously crafted file system where there is an
extended attribute with e_value_offs is non-zero and e_value_size is
0, the attempt to remove this xattr will result in a negative value
getting passed to memmove, leading to the following sadness:
