Subject: ext4: check for zero length extent explicitly
From: Eryu Guan <[email protected]>
commit 2f974865ffdfe7b9f46a9940836c8b167342563d upstream.
The following commit introduced a bug when checking for zero length extent
5946d08 ext4: check for overlapping extents in ext4_valid_extent_entries()
Zero length extent could pass the check if lblock is zero.
Adding the explicit check for zero length back.
