ext4: xattr: fix null pointer deref in ext4_raw_inode()
jira VULN-66825
cve-bf CVE-2025-37738

commit b97cb7d
If ext4_get_inode_loc() fails (e.g. if it returns -EFSCORRUPTED),
iloc.bh will remain set to NULL. Since ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all()
lacks error checking, this will lead to a null pointer dereference
in ext4_raw_inode(), called right after ext4_get_inode_loc().
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
Fixes: c8e008b ("ext4: ignore xattrs past end")
