xfs: sanity check attr fork size
Recently we have quite a few kerneloops reports about dereferencing a NULL
if_data in the attribute fork. From looking over the code this can only
happen if we pass a 0 size argument to xfs_iformat_local. This implies some
sort of corruption and in fact the only mailinglist report about this from
earlier this year was after a powerfail presumably on a system with write
cache and without barriers.
Add a quick sanity check for the attr fork size in xfs_iformat to catch
these early and without an oops.
