Merge tag 'ntfs-for-7.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linkinjeon/ntfs

Pull ntfs updates from Namjae Jeon:

 - Harden handling of malformed on-disk metadata.

   This adds stricter validation for attributes, attribute lists, index
   roots and entries, EA entries, mapping pairs, and $LogFile restart
   areas. These changes fix several out-of-bounds access, integer
   overflow, and inconsistent metadata handling issues.

 - Prevent a writeback deadlock involving extent MFT records

 - Fix resource leaks in fill_super() failure paths and the name cache

 - Serialize volume label access and improving its error handling

 - Fix mapping-pairs decoding bounds and LCN overflow checks

 - Keep resident index root metadata consistent during resize

 - Fix the reported size of symbolic links

 - Avoid an unnecessary allocation for resident inline data

 - Add support for following and creating Windows native symbolic links.

   Relative links, absolute links, and junctions are handled, with new
   mount options controlling native symlink creation and absolute target
   translation. The existing WSL symlink behavior remains the default.

 - The unsupported quota code is removed, along with several smaller
   cleanups
