[lvc-project] [PATCH 1/1] squashfs: harden sanity check in squashfs_read_xattr_id_table

While mounting a corrupted filesystem, a signed integer '*xattr_ids' can
become less than zero. This leads to the incorrect computation of 'len'
and 'indexes' values which can cause null-ptr-deref in copy_bio_to_actor()
or out-of-bounds accesses in the next sanity checks inside
squashfs_read_xattr_id_table().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
