ntfs_create_inode() sizes the non-resident reparse run list as
record_size - offset - SIZEOF_NONRESIDENT, then sets the attribute size
to SIZEOF_NONRESIDENT + ALIGN(run_pack(), 8). It does not reserve space
for the trailing ATTR_END, so a maximally packed run list places that
4-byte sentinel just past the allocated MFT record.

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_create_inode+0x4390/0x5220
  ntfs_create_inode+0x4390/0x5220 fs/ntfs3/inode.c:1796
  ntfs_symlink+0x108/0x170 fs/ntfs3/namei.c:224
  vfs_symlink+0x137/0x420
  filename_symlinkat+0x326/0x460
  __x64_sys_symlink+0x79/0xb0

After packing the run list, check that the 8-byte ATTR_END slot still
fits in the MFT record. Return -EINVAL if the aligned run list would
place it past the buffer.
