The validation contained an off-by-one error. The
expression '(u32)(usa_ofs + (usa_count * 2)) > size' used 'usa_count'
after it had been decremented to skip the update sequence number entry.
Consequently, the code could read out of bounds, up to two bytes past the
end of the MST-protected record.
Furthermore, as documented in the comment in layout.h for "NTFS_RECORD"
and also on MSDN for "MULTI_SECTOR_HEADER", the update sequence array
must end before the last le16 in the first logical sector --- not merely
before the end of the record.
Fix the validation and move it into a helper function, as it was done
identically in the read and write paths.

This commit addresses issues where little-endian variables are emitted
raw to a log or output stream which is to be interpreted by the user.
Outputting data in non-native endianness can cause confusion for anybody
attempting to debug issues with a file system.
Logging of fixup errors for uninitialized inodes cause unnecessary
worries and suspicion of malfunctions in ntfs-3g. This patch silences
these loggings in ntfsclone and ntfsresize which have to analyze all
inodes, including the uninitialized ones.
