Subject: ext4: check for zero length extent explicitly

From: Eryu Guan <guaneryu@gmail.com>

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.
