CVE-2022-50507 — fs/ntfs3: Validate data run offset

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: Validate data run offset

This adds sanity checks for data run offset. We should make sure data
run offset is legit before trying to unpack them, otherwise we may
encounter use-after-free or some unexpected memory access behaviors.
