The add_bytes variable comes from:

	add = ALIGN(struct_size(ea_all, name, 1 + name_len + val_size), 4);

This is problematic and has inspired a new static checker warning:

fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:26 unpacked_ea_size() warn: using integer overflow function 'size_add()' for math
fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:290 ntfs_set_ea() warn: using integer overflow function 'size_add()' for math

The issue is that the struct_size() has an integer overflow and we call
ALIGN() on it, then "add" becomes zero.  Is there a bounds check that
we could use here?

	add = struct_size(ea_all, name, 1 + name_len + val_size);
	if (add > SOMETHING_MAX)
		return -EINVAL;

Otherwise the limit would have to be if (add > ULONG_MAX - 3) { which
is ugly.

Applied, thanks!
