Here is a BUG report from syzbot:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_list_ea fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:191 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_listxattr+0x401/0x570 fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:710
Read of size 1 at addr ffff888021acaf3d by task syz-executor128/3632

Call Trace:
 ntfs_list_ea fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:191 [inline]
 ntfs_listxattr+0x401/0x570 fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:710
 vfs_listxattr fs/xattr.c:457 [inline]
 listxattr+0x293/0x2d0 fs/xattr.c:804

Fix the logic of ea_all iteration. When the ea->name_len is 0,
return immediately, or Add2Ptr() would visit invalid memory
in the next loop.
