When wsl_to_fattr() parses WSL extended attributes, it computes a
payload pointer from ea->ea_data + ea_name_length + 1. Since the
smb2_file_full_ea_info struct is __packed and all WSL xattr names are
6 bytes long, the value pointer always lands at an odd byte offset,
never satisfying __le32 or __le64 alignment requirements.
The code then casts this pointer to __le32 * or __le64 * and
dereferences it directly, which may cause alignment faults on some
architectures.
Replace all such casts with get_unaligned_le32() and
get_unaligned_le64() in reparse_mkdev(), wsl_make_kuid(),
wsl_make_kgid() and wsl_to_fattr().

wsl_to_fattr() mutates fattr fields as it parses each WSL EA. If
validation later fails, the function returns false with partially
mutated fattr fields that callers do not reset.
Fix this by parsing into local variables and only committing them to
fattr on success.
