There is no check if stream size and start_clu are invalid. If start_clu is EOF cluster and stream size is 4096, It will cause uninit value access. because ei->hint_femp.eidx could be 128(if cluster size is 4K) and wrong hint will allocate next cluster. and this cluster will be same with the cluster that is allocated by exfat_extend_valid_size(). The previous patch will check invalid start_clu, but for clarity, initialize hint_femp.eidx to zero.
