ntfs: avoid calling post_write_mst_fixup() for invalid index_block
ntfs_icx_ib_sync_write() calls post_write_mst_fixup() when ntfs_ib_write()
returns an error, intending to restore the buffer after a failed write.
However, ntfs_ib_write() returns an error immediately if
pre_write_mst_fixup() validation fails. The caller,
ntfs_icx_ib_sync_write(), interprets any error as a write failure
requiring rollback. It does not differentiate between I/O errors and
validation failures, and calls post_write_mst_fixup() anyway.
Since post_write_mst_fixup() assumes that the index_block contents is
correct, it doesn't perform the boundary checks, which results in
out-of-bounds memory access.
An attacker can craft a malicious NTFS image with:
- large index_block.usa_ofs offset, pointing outside the ntfs_record
- index_block.usa_count = 0, causing integer underflow
- or index_block.usa_count larger than actual number of sectors in the
ntfs_record, causing out-of-bounds access
KASAN reports describing the memory corruption:

==================================================================
Let's move the post_write_mst_fixup() call to ntfs_ib_write().
The ntfs_ib_write() function calls pre_write_mst_fixup() at the beginning.
If the index_block contents is invalid, pre_write_mst_fixup() fails and
ntfs_ib_write() returns early without calling post_write_mst_fixup() on
bad index_block.
