Subject: btrfs: handle invalid num_stripes in sys_array

commit f5cdedd73fa71b74dcc42f2a11a5735d89ce7c4f upstream.

We can handle the special case of num_stripes == 0 directly inside
btrfs_read_sys_array. The BUG_ON in btrfs_chunk_item_size is there to
catch other unhandled cases where we fail to validate external data.

A crafted or corrupted image crashes at mount time:
