[ Upstream commit eeb5ef6083e1cefa2ef75041b5597ff228b8d7bb ]

In move_smb2_ea_to_cifs(), the while (src_size > 0) loop condition is
insufficient. It allows iteration to continue even if the remaining
src_size is too small to contain a complete smb2_ea_info structure.
Consequently, reads of ea_name_length and ea_value_length can occur
out-of-bounds.

Fix this by ensuring src_size >= sizeof(*src) before attempting to read
any structure fields. Additionally, reject any next_entry_offset that is
smaller than sizeof(*src) or that would advance the pointer beyond the
available buffer.

Note that for calls where the server returns a malformed EA list, the
error returned to userspace changes from -ENODATA (getxattr) or
-ERANGE (listxattr) to -EIO. This correctly signals a server protocol
error rather than misleadingly indicating "attribute not present" or
"output buffer too small".
