The ntfs_get_ea() function returns negative error codes or on success
it returns the length. In the original code a zero length return was
treated as -ENODATA and results in a NULL return. But it should be
treated as an invalid length and result in an PTR_ERR(-EINVAL) return.

I'm not super familiar with this code. Please review this one
extra carefully. I think it's theoretical because hopefully
ntfs_get_ea() doesn't ever return invalid lengths.
