NFSv4/flexfiles: reject zero filehandle version count

ff_layout_alloc_lseg() decodes the filehandle-version array count
from the flexfiles layout body. The value is used as the count for
kzalloc_objs(), and the current code only rejects NULL.

A zero count yields ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which can be stored in
dss_info->fh_versions even though later flexfiles paths assume that at
least one filehandle version exists.

Reject fh_count == 0 before the allocation, matching the existing zero
version_count validation in the flexfiles GETDEVICEINFO parser.

A QEMU/KASAN run with a malformed flexfiles layout hit:

  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]
  RIP: 0010:ff_layout_encode_ff_layoutupdate.isra.0+0x15f/0x750
  ff_layout_encode_layoutreturn+0x683/0x970
  nfs4_xdr_enc_layoutreturn+0x278/0x3a0
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

The patched kernel rejects the malformed layout without KASAN/oops/panic,
and a valid fh_count=1 regression still opens, reads, and unmounts cleanly.
